How do we turn Apple Watch off?

Watch can do, but how do we turn it off? I was thinking maybe the button below the Digital Crown, or maybe some type of force touch. Any other ideas?
Hold the Digital Crown and the button below it and then it will prompt you to turn it off maybe?

As long as it's kept charged it'll only turn off when your heart stops.
I surmised from reading that other thread (about popup advertising) it would pop an ad for the nearest ER?
Or maybe funeral home?

Not before showing a (beautifully crafted) custom message on screen, complete with it's own animation and sound effect.
To make it go to sleep you cover the watch face with your hand and it goes to sleep, as for turning it completely off I don't know
Power Off is an outdated term. On any modern electronic device it is a relative term that is a form of skeuomorph design at best. You simply can't turn off most electronic device. You are just going into a deeper layer of standby.
What would be a practical real world situation in which you see the need for a deep standby mode?

Off when you don't need it to save battery. Reboot to fix software quirks. I'm sure theres more reasons. This is just from the top of my head.
Don't need a so called 'off' switch to reboot. Also if you are not using it will likely use about the same amount of power as any faux off 'standby' mode.
Drained of every last dollar via Apple, Bob was last seen taking his final breath at the iTunes internment facility...I surmised from reading that other thread (about popup advertising) it would pop an ad for the nearest ER?

His last wish was to be buried with his MBP, ATV, iPad & iPhones...Mission Accomplished!
Hmmm...
I dunno. I assume the 24 hour battery life is because of the bluetooth pairing in constant contact, querying for notifications. I would surmise that an "airplane" mode that reduces it to a watch only could easily double or treble the battery life.
