Very durable- Speaker (not included with Venture)- Two extra buttons for direct app links (not included with Venture)- Easy connectivity with other Android

Between the two, I prefer the Venture, even though Amazon refers to it as a "women's" watch

Even though Amazon refers to this Explorist (copper watch with blue leather) as "men's", the watch looks more like a rose gold color to me, while the stainless steel silver Venture (which Amazon calls a "women's") looks more masculine to me

For me the Venture wins due to its smaller size
