When I first read your caption I thought you were saying that there was no way the battery was lasting five days but it appears as if you are saying that you could easily get more than five days if you wanted.
I recharge mine every two or three days generally when I get to about 20% battery left. I use the GPS feature a lot for over eighty minute runs and also doing workouts in excess of thirty minutes with the exercise always on and using the Pandora app. I am also doing a lot of tinkering looking at hourly steps daily goals, syncing and just looking at the time so that is why I suspect I usually do not get to day four.
With what I am doing with the Ionic, I am satisfied with the way the batter life last as if I even tried half that with my iPhone I would need to recharge it after six hours.
