Biggest difference is API. Check out following short articles:

Saying that the only difference is misleading, because this is THE best 
difference :)

 Just curious, as I was having a discussion with someone else about
 this topic, but for those here who have directly compared watir-
 webdriver vs selenium-webdriver, what are the reasons you selected one
 over another?
 
 I prefer watir-webdriver, and one of the main reasons is I feel the
 api allows for more flexibility with object recognition. After having
 used both, I just find watir to be more user friendly and pleasant to
 work with. The only reason I sometimes still consider selenium-
 webdriver is for access to a cross browser solution such as Sauce
 Labs. I'm not aware that something like that exists for watir yet.
 
 Thought/opinions? Thanks!

I think a couple of guys from Sauce Labs had a talk last year at Watir Day
(at Selenium Conference) on how watir-webdriver works on their platform.
