Had my Ionic since Christmas (present from husband) and love all of the features.

Sadly, the battery life has dwindled from 5 days to less than 2 recently and I also have issues with it dying before I get a low battery notification ... 

Very disappointed!

Any ideas what to do?

Is the Ionic overloaded with notifications and are you using the GPS very often? These can drain battery.

Some watch faces use a lot more power than others. Have you recently changed to a different face? Try changing to a Fitbit one for a few days, and also try restarting the Ionic several times and see if that helps its performance.
