Never. And no, turning it off will not have any positive impact.

How often do you turn your Apple Watch off?

Never. Is there some (good) reason to do so? It's not a lap or desktop (for such which reasons are well known).
The watch seems pretty reliable. But, it is a programmable device which is subject to bugs. I'm not a WatchOS developer so I'm not willing to assert that a reboot won't cure some lingering or growing problem.
I thought the issue had gone away, but the other day I had to restart my watch since it didn't respond to vertical swipes. A restart always fixes that when it happens. I also seem to remember having some issue with Fantastical that required me to restart my watch to fix.
I feel the Apple Watch is closer to a computer than it is to a regular digital watch. I see from the replies in this thread that most people feel the opposite is true.
Having said all that, I don't feel it's necessary to restart or turn off the watch unless you are having some problem.
