IM curious as to what everyone does...? Like at nighttime or during the day when I'm at work. I do aircraft maintenance so I do not bring it to work. Should I shut it off until I actually wear it and use it?
I think it depends on what a "long period of time" is. I don't think 8-12 hours qualifies, and most Apple devices are meant to be left on all the time. But if you won't be using it for several days, then yes - turning it off would presumably help preserve the battery by minimizing the charge/recharge cycles.
All of this is speculative. It's too new for anyone to know the answer to your question, based on experience.

Well I work in an environment when it can be damaged very easy so yea I'm not worried about monitoring my fitness. When I'm home I wear it until I go to bed. But that didn't answer my question, should I turn it off when I'm not using it for long periods of time?

What is a long period of time? I can't think of a reason to turn it off. If I were concerned about running out of power, I'd put it in Power Reserve. But, honestly, it's just a matter of personal preference. I don't turn my phone off, either. (Well, except for the time I got detained at the border and they made me turn it off.)
I have not tuned my Watch off since I received it. I charge it at night but leave it on. If I were to take the Watch off during the day I'd leave it on. If I were leaving it off my wrist for several days I'd probably turn it off.
It doesn't do any good monitoring fitness if you are not wearing it. I wear mine unless I'm asleep, and then it is on the charger.
Why wouldn't you?

Does everyone turn their watch off when not in use...?
