I have always used "puck" shape computers in the console.

I am sitting here learning my new Liquivision Kaon computer in the comfy chair.

It will be either a wrist-watch style strap on the wrist or bungee cord style on the wrist.

What do you do? What do you think? What do you like?

Most Tech folks prefer the bungee option. cheep and quick to fix and you can wear it on a dry suit or thin dive skin. so its adaptable.

Each wreck has a tale to tell about its life and its demise. 

If you are observant while diving in dark places listen to the account each has to tell, You cannot come away unaffected.

Definitely bungee. For all the reasons Jerry stated. Bungee won't break when you are completely geared up, tanks strapped on, ready to go, just need to put on your computer to jump in for an hour plus tech dive...grrr

I like the strap BUT you can't go wrong either way. Most tech divers use bungees!

I just order my bungees to convert my computer and compass this week. Does anyone know how to loop the actual bungee through the mounts..

Look on the Deco stop forum. I think I saw some pictures on there of how it's rigged. Post back here how you make out.

I did a quick search on bing for bungee mount compass. Several good pictures came up. It's a good start.
