Yes because I am afraid of others throwing it.

I wear it only when I play Wii sport, I don't need it with Zelda since I barely shake the Wiimote when swinging the Sword and I play it in my bed under my cover so it won''t fly to the TV.

Yes, and when I was playing wii bowling, I accidentally threw the wii remote.. But I was wearing the strap, so there was no damage.

I use it... I know it's kinda stupid and it might interfere alittle during gaming, but I use it as a precaution since sometimes my hands act of on their own... and also I might use it because I didn't wanna break my friends Wii-mote by dropping it on his floor

I take if off sometimes because it gets kind of itchy on my wrist or it affects my gameplay.

I wear it, I'd rather not break the nice expensive TV that I'm trying to play on. If it truly is uncomfortable to use in certain situations, just loosen the strap- anything is better than not having it on at all.

Now that I think about it, I don't really use it that much when I am not playing a game or when I'm using the Internet Channel, Wii Shop, etc.

Yeah, like most of us, only when the game reminds us. It never mentions anything before playing a VC game or going on the Internet or News chanells - but when the warnings come up in Wario Warez or Mario Party, I ENFORCE the rule - I've already left a gouge in my ceiling, and one of my buddies bowled his Wii remote twenty feet behind him into a plaster wall. At my house, of course.

It really depends on what game I'm playing. If it's something like Twilight Princess, than I wear the wrist strap as a precaution. But if it's a game with less movement or if I'm just browsing the Internet channel or something like that, I don't really bother with the strap.

I'm probably not stupid enough to let go, but I'd rather be safe than sorry. I wear it all the time.

Oh course I do!!!! Are you crazy?! Your hands get hella sweaty and they might slip even if you don't swing it hard.

At first I did. Then I felt like a complete idiot. I don't think I've ever dropped my Wiimote, or ever experienced it flying out of my hands. So yeah, I never use it.
