I've had my series 3 a little over seven months, it gets a day and a half easily - if I fully charge before bed, it's good two overnights and usually at around 20% the second morning. No comment as yet on longer-term battery degradation though.

Series 3 had the best battery life for me. Going to series 5 was a notable regression in having to charge daily.

I get a nearly identical charge profile to the one OP described for his 3 on my six: I charge before bed, and if I skip a charge one night, I still have battery (in the red of course) when I wake up.
Offer not valid if I do an hour of exercise during the day, or game heavily (I've been known to zone out on 2048 pretty hardcore), but for normal use, sure.
Apple Watch isn't trying to be anything other than a charge-daily device, it's honestly kind of incredible that something that small can be a full-fledged cell phone and still last a full day.
