Just my opinion, but I find that there are a few people out there who suffer from motion  sickness when viewing footage from head mounted cameras... to much movement I believe. I use a chest mount instead and it seems to do the trick for those who are a bit more sensitive to watching action camera footage. Go with what works best for you though.

Not sure about those cameras, but the gopro sessions are nice and small & simple to use, no need for a waterproof housing as it is already waterproof.  The sessions is more of a basic camera compared to proper gopros but at the same time I find the full gopro too bulky to have on my head. Its lighter/smaller and generally cheaper than a standard GoPro.

Also, the above comment is true, you move your head often and fast and you probably don't realise this until you reviewed your video. The way around is as above suggested, using a chest mount, or the other way is to have something in the video that is always there that doesn't move too much. For example, I wear a cap and you can see a part of the cap throughout the video and it does not move around. You'd be surprise that this actually makes a difference in how dizzy you get while watching it.

I've also had footage of the camera mounted on my rod, where you can view the rod, during a cast, you don't get dizzy watching it.

 

also forgot to mention it’s one button to press to start recording
