I have done so for the last several months and curious has this damaged my apple watches battery? I have only just realised its supposed to be put in to power reserve instead of being shut off at night time.
Got a tip for us?

Overthinking is to worry about do something that is not a problem or won't make any relative difference not matter what decision you make. If you really feel the need to understand battery tech then go here and you can read until your heart is content.

I just like to keep my apple products in box condition I take a lot of care for them. (I know box condition is impossible but i try my best)
So to end this thread with a conclusion turning my Apple watch off over the past few months at night won't effect the device in anyway possible? And I should start using the power reserve mode instead?

Why would you use power reserve unless you're away from home and low on power? You don't need to turn it off and you don't need to put it on power reserve mode either. Just put the damn watch on its charger and forget about it.
When you take it off at the end of the day, put it on the charger. Don't put it into power save or turn it off.
There's no telling what that has or has not done to your battery.

Most likely it has no effect on the battery, but still, what the hell is the point? I don't get why the OP feels the need to overcomplicate things. Some serious OCD behaviors going on here....
Seriously? We're trying to help OP become less paranoid not more.
Overthinking definition, I guess it's an American term. Also known as over-analyze or analysis paralysis.
Or in the Eastern world, pensiveness, considered to be the result of overthinking.
Op turning it off will make no difference except waiting two minutes every day for it to power up.
The charge circuit works whether the watch is on or off so no damage will be caused doing so.

Your trying to help me become less parioniod?
My Apple watch battery is the same as it was when I brought It and I'm new to the whole apple world as I'm an expert when it comes to android devices until I realised how bad they were so I moved to apple I didn't know that Apple products were supposed to be left on.
I turn my Mac off because I'm so use to turning a windows machine off at night and the same applied to my Apple watch. I just stuck it in power reserve mode over night to save the battery while I slept and it's still running the same charge from yesterday. A YouTuber mentioned that they did the same by putting it in to power reserve over night anyway. I appreciate the help guys
My bad.
In Mac support, the first thing we ask is "when did you last reboot," because the majority of Mac owners just leave their Macs on until a system update forces a restart. Very unlike Windows.
Don't turn your iPhone off either.
I don't turn my iPhone off I know a lot about iPhones I'm just pretty novice when it comes to Mac as I mentioned above I have not noticed any issues as I have had my Mac since October 2014 and I have been turning it off and it seems to fine would this have any lasting effect? I'm gonna sell it and buy the 15 inch with retina soon anyway

Dude. There is no one right way to use a computer. Do whatever works for you. Apple doesn't mandate whether you should turn off your computer at night or put it to sleep or leave it running. It's up to you. I know I know, these are very difficult life or death decisions.
Jeez. How do you decide what to eat for lunch?
As far as you watch goes just use it and put on the charger while sleeping. Do not turn it off or put it in power reserve, just put it on the charger and go to sleep. Wake up and repeat.
