Using Apple's own remarks about battery life of their other iOS devices as a guide, a 5-year life-expectancy is pure fantasy. 1-year life expectancy before severely diminished use (as already prevalent in all their devices) is something they have yet to conquer.
I purchased a couple of the watches during the pre-order as it was convenient, got home from the office rather late and figured why not; the plan is to off-load them all to the "need to have now" types that cannot wait until June/July.
