Pairs right up and works without a hitch so far, hasn't dropped connection and does everything I'd want it to. One time before a ride I had to de-pair and pair again after it wouldn't connect, but that was just a weird one-off thing seemingly.
The reason I took off a star is because the unit I received was very obviously a used and returned open box with a bunch of grease everywhere, but I figured as long as it worked it was no harm no foul even though it was supposed to be new.
The value on this product is great. They are accurate, easy to set up and provide a great option to other power meters in being able to be moved to different bikes easily and their price tag. The only quirk I noticed is they do not engage with my shoes as quickly and easily as my Shimano pedals. I wear Sidi Dominator off road shoes and it takes an extra second or two to get them lined up to engage. This is not a problem for a training/casual ride but could be an issue in a race. Where Shimano pedals just seem to naturally find the right spot with no real effort the Favero require a little finagling to get them positioned. I am in my 50s now, so my competive racing days are behind me but this would have bugged me in my 20-30s. I still ride 8-12 hours a week and still structure my workouts and these work wonderfully.

First of all - these are good pedals. There is nothing different about them vs any other standard SPD based pedal other than the small charging pins located on the inside of the spindle. The power readings are great - no dropping or issues. Paired instantly with my Garmin products. Battery life is crazy - still on my initial charge since purchase including multiple road trips (the vehicle motion sometimes turn the pedals on and ~ 250 miles of riding).
