Are you sure your Apple Watch is actually turning off, not just the display blanking? Normal behavior is for the display to activate about 5 seconds then go dark again until the Watch senses movement. Try just a gentle tap on the watch strap or table top to let it feel vibration, the display will probably come to life for a few seconds.
