So you agree they're not great for trackies?

It's not really as black and white as that is it? If it's the only PM you own then whether or not it's truly 100% accurate (when measured against an SRM) is less important than it being 100% consistent. Depends on whether you are looking at it as a training tool (combined with hr and cadence data) or a measuring device.

I was very happy with mine as a training tool when it was the only one I had... Now I have the luxury of 3, and I still use it. Just not for big efforts. Making wattage re-calculations is hard when you're thrashing away at 160rpm.

Let me repeat: It once again boils down to 'the particular rider being happy with x error margin at x price point'.

If it's the only PM you own

Why would you buy it?

being 100% consistent

Which I think isn't or at least wasn't the case.
