Been busy diving

The straps are a pig to connect with dry gloves. Bungees are so much easier to pull on and they stay in place. Also you can put a Trilobite line cutter under.

Well, that was my experience anyway.

I only dive with dry gloves, lol.
Technique issues more than anything.

Thankfully solved by simplifying using bungees.

Why just don't use two independent bungee loops?

Because you can adjust them if you use one. Two means adjusting two.

You knot the "centre" of the bungee which will stop the bungee pulling through the holes, should one end snap, you're left with the computer dangling on the other.

A picture ...

Single line. Fisherman's bend (i.e. two knots). Middle has a figure 8.

Allows for adjustment if necessary, e.g. if diving in "warm" water (whatever that is). Note the Trilobite which is positioned under the wrist.

A picture would save a thousand words.

Not that much of a hassle anyway, but I do see your point of knotting it in the middle. Although, it looks like Marrie didn't do it, which makes 2 loops safer in her case.

That's more complicated to adjust than 2 loops. Pull free end and tuck it under the line.

I forget who asked - I did have two separate bungees on my Perdix. However, it was sized for drysuit, which why you see it almost up to my elbow in the photos from Saturday as I’ve been diving wet. When one bungee came loose, it was then very easy for the entire thing to slip off my arm.

Then it's set wrong. One end is fixed, other is sliding. Pull sliding end tight and tuck it under its own tensioned line. It will not move. Works from Rolock rings down to bare arm.
