Signal strength should be the same but the battery is slightly larger in the 42mm model.

A member here did couple of the video on the battery life comparison between 38mm and 42mm. Here is one:

He has many more on his channel, I decided to keep my 38mm, even tho the battery life is not as good as 42mm.

Can you get more than a day out of the battery on the 38?

I think that depends on how you plan to use your watch, I connected to my phone most of the time so I have no problem get through the whole day.

Yeah I’d probably be connected to my phone most of the day. What percentage are you usally at by the end of the day? Sorry for all the questions!

No problem at all!
In my typical work days I leave it connected to my phone, left house around 8:20 in the morning and back home 6 in the afternoon, usually have 60-70% left.

Hey thanks so much!

This. That's a large part of what it is. Everybody's battery life will vary differently because of how the Apple Watch is used with applications, settings and sensors.
