It may be a bad unit mat was the to get another one.

I sincerely doubt it. My battery life is decent, it's just that it loses too much during standby.

What app is that? Is like to compare it to mine.
So I have the same issue as the OP -- coming from an iPhone, the battery life on this phone (as much as I love it) is relatively horrendous. Just a few minutes of web surfing will see the battery percentage drop a few percent. I noticed though (while vacationing abroad) that when the plane is on airplane mode the battery life is significantly improved - to the point where it's on par with my previous iPhone. But turning off Bluetooth, GPS, and apps that fetch data regularly now that I'm back in the States hasn't helped. It only seems to be airplane mode that does it.
Does this mean it has something to do with the phone's cell service? ie- it trying to reach towers nearby? I'm not a technical person at all, so this is just a wild guess...
I have noticed (from a little Googling) that some people say they have absolutely no issues with battery life, while others seem to be in the same boat as me. So does it have to do with the area you live in? I live/work in the middle of downtown Seattle, so I have a hard time understanding how this could be the issue, but I'm at a loss as to what else it could be, other than maybe just bad luck in receiving a faulty phone.
I get between 3-4 hours of screen on time but I purposely keep the screen really dim. People may say that's good but believe it or not the phone drains more on standby than with the screen actually on.

My iPhone 5 could last forever on standby, literally 3-5 hours without losing a single percent. At this point I'm considering going back to it
I swear you can't read a question about battery life without a statement like this being made. It's awesome that the iPhone can do something, but this is an Android device so it's going to be different. There's things Android can do that iPhone can't, and I wouldn't expect them to be the same if I switched to Apple. I get that you're saying if one high end device can, they all should. But the One has a higher definition screen, it's larger, and the OS does a lot more than iOS does. You cannot expect one to do something just cause the other can. Especially when it's different across the board. I've heard many iPhone 5 users complain about poor battery life.
I think you may see iPhone users complaining about battery life because its really one of the only major downsides to android devices. Just about all of the rest of the android OS is superior to iOS, so it's just this one issue that stands out.I swear you can't read a question about battery life without a statement like this being made.

I've been a 32GB unlocked HTC One owner since day one. Battery life for me has been very mediocre, barely enough to make it through a work day with light to moderate usage. For some reason this phone drains so much on standby it's ridiculous. Last week I finally gave in and decided to root. I've found that standby still sucks but the screen uses less power so I can get more screen on time on average. I'm running InsertCoin with ElementalX kernel and for every hour of standby I lose ~3+ percent of battery! I'm not even using the phone! I have EVERY APP on my phone Greenified, Google Search, Gmail, and Play Music uninstalled, I have the phone undervolted and monitor everything with Wakelock Detector and GSAM. Nothing looks weird to me but for some reason my standby still sucks. I've literally crippled my phone and have all location services turned off and I still can't get good standby time. My iPhone 5 could last forever on standby, literally 3-5 hours without losing a single percent. I've been using Android for years and the only phone that got GOOD battery life was the Note 2. At this point I'm considering going back to it because I'm sick of micromanaging my phone and still not getting good results.
Is anyone else having similar issues?
I never understood this stat. Why is overnight battery loss something people use as a benchmark? Plug your phone in overnight.
