Before this I was very happy with it, but must say now disappointed. It mean it is a consistent issues that could have been avoided with proper R&D to ensure the battery is good quality and last for more than just 6 months .... Edit: Will still try to get it replaced under warranty but will not buy it again after that. Edited January 11, 2023 by TheoG

gowesbet Posted January 12, 2023 Posted January 12, 2023 this is weird. mine if plug to charge, then pull it out, rotate, it's turn on, my bike comp/phone can detect. but this morning, when start riding, its wont turn on again. lol my seller offer service in their place, maybe next week will send to them, hope fully can fix it, before i purchase assioma uno
CARANXCycleMobile Posted January 12, 2023 Posted January 12, 2023 If the product was bought locally,(SA) and you have the proof of puchase (invoice)....You will have a 18 month warrentee and nothing to stress about.I've sold many of the local (SA) XCADEY units and not a single one has come back with a issue. It might be some bad luck @TheoG or those Ali-suppliers overseas are selling products that aint legit. FranE 1

Will keep trying to contact them.
warick_wrx Posted January 12, 2023 Posted January 12, 2023 The only thing that put me off about this unit was the sealed battery design. If something goes wrong it would appear it's basically becomes a paper weight. But for the price I was prepared to take the risk. Will have to wait and see it it gives issues. Hopefully by then you would have sorted yours out. TheoG 1
Dexter-morgan Posted February 20, 2023 Posted February 20, 2023 So it seems like it as hit and miss, how does it compare to Sigey power meters? does anyone have any experience? Kom 1
TimRusso Posted February 20, 2023 Posted February 20, 2023 (edited) I bought one in August of 2021 direct from Sigeyi and have had 0 issues so far, very consistent power readings and awesome battery life, I hardly ever charge it. Would definitely recommend! Edited February 20, 2023 by TimRusso Spelling Dexter-morgan 1
Mongoose! Posted February 20, 2023 Posted February 20, 2023 can one replace the battery or is it a sealed unit ?

Sigey Power Meters are used by the EuroSteel Pyga team, if i'm not mistaken it might be Phillip Buys's business that brings them in Edited February 20, 2023 by DeanWort corrected myself

Would definitely recommend! do they also come with a setting to correct the readings like Xcadey ? I think that is brilliant because let's face it, not often two power meters read the same, and when you train on different bikes it's nice to have some consistency.... I set my Xcadey to report 95% of what it reads... First time I did 5mins intervals on it I smashed my PB numbers 🤣
