The reviewer, Joe Whittingham, tests the NEXGA S1 power meter and finds it to be highly accurate, comparing it favorably to the Assioma Pro Duos. He notes that previous Chinese spider power meters were "good for the price" but had quirks, whereas the NEXGA S1 is simply "good" or even "great." The power meter shows within 1% accuracy in steady-state and sprint tests, and performs well in temperature-variable long rides. The reviewer highlights features like USB-C charging, lightweight design, and IPX7 waterproofing.
