I haven't used any other power meter to compare it to, and just picked this up to be able to converse with my son who is a serious duathlete. He said there are so many variables that you can't really compare one person's power with another, thank goodness. But the Power Pod does give meaningful readings for me to compare efforts on my rides.

For the price and with Rainmaker's review, I went for it and am pleased I did.

The calibration ride has to be done how often? Is it before every ride, just the first ride, or some periodic interval? I presume you'd recalibrate if you made any significant equipment, position, or clothing changes (e.g. between summer and winter kits).
