A meter is a device that measures something.
A power meter is a device that measures power.
This is NOT a device that measures power.
This is a device that measures wind.
Therefore, this is not a power meter.
The powerpod estimates power in watts using a wind gauge. Other meters estimate power using strain gauges.
Some bathroom scales rely on springs. Others on strain gauges. Others on sliding weights as is commonly the case at your doctor's office.
What matters is the concordance (or lack of it) between instruments.
