I have these meters, had them years, from giant cod, thing is i bought one of the blue ones did not use it for a while and when i did, nothing it did not work 
so i bought another it worked for a short time then packed up, plug the battery in and the screen tells you it is not connected to the battery ??????
The black one i bought around the same time but it just tell the power your drawing, so not much use
I dont seem to have much luck with electrical stuff

To be fair to OT it did not work when it was first posted but presumably as a mod he could secretly fix it.

if you are calm and collected when all about you are going berserk - you've missed something important!

The Wattmeter I have is rather different to BB's - but as he has no load on the output, if I do that with MY meter, it shows 0.00 per cell. That's not VOLTS, it is AMPS, and as none are being drawn, 0.00 is correct.
Now - if BB plugs in a speed controller to the LOAD side, and a prop-less motor ( for safety), and a servo tester or receiver to drive the speedo, he'll see a difference!
A propless motor won't draw very much anyway, but the numbers will rise from zero.

It seems you have the wrong style of watt meter.
When I couple a lipo (a 2s in this case) up to mine just by itself it does indeed act as a volt meter.
It also shows the current it draws doing it (0.01 A). Left running it even records the power consumption, 0.009 Watt hours after 5 minutes!
