I just came here to say the same thing. I just got mine very recently as a gift (last week) and I've noticed I have to charge it fully every 2-3 days. I keep hearing other people going at least a week before having to charge it.

I just got mine last week and have been pleased with the battery life so far.  I've worn it constantly.  The current charge has lasted 4 days, and I have logged 4 activities, along with heart rate, calories, steps, using the watch, sleep, etc.  I wonder if there are different versions of the hardware, where some have better battery life than others?  Perhaps the GPS make a big difference, I don't use it.  I did turn off continuous synchronization, perhaps that might help.

I bought my Blaze on ebay sometime last year, at first the battery was holding for about 3 days but recently the battery is not holding charge for no more than 7 hours if i'm lucky.  I've done all the suggested solution for the battery drain or not holding charge and also contacted Fitbit support.  To summarize what I was told, since I purchase my blaze on ebay it's not under warranty and it's not repairable.  If it was under warranty, then they will replace it.  They can try to reset and see if that will solve the problem but beyond that I can continue wearing my Blaze since the tracker is working even if it's not charged.  But what's the use in wearing wristwatch that can not tell time?  I'm sorry to say but Fitbits are just overpriced disposable watch if purchased from online source other than Fitbit recognized source.  I was hoping the company should honor their product regardless where it was acquired from because it's not repairable and parts can not be purchased for repair.
