Hi Jonathan, thanks for have replied but... KD1JV SWR/Power meter with 5% accuracy with led ???? How is it possible ?? I don't like it, I prefer a taditional needle meter.
Then I recommend the NoGAWatt. This is a small Altoids-sized fwd/rev power meter for a small budget. It's not super accurate, but fun to build.
The WM2 is the standard, as far as I can tell, for those unable to homebrew their own power meter. KD1JV's device has served me well in the field when I want to know if my equipment is putting out generally what it usually does.
I don't know it's accuracy exactly, but most consider it the standard for the QRP builder. It is easy to use, easy to build, and looks great on the bench. It is not portable, however, if you are looking for a rugged field meter. I recommend the KD1JV QRP SWR/Power meter kit for that. It's cheap and rugged--but not as easy to read as the WM2. I hope this answers your question.

Good job! In your opinion, is this item a good meter for QRP or it isn't accuracy?
