It might help soften the turf a bit, but won't carting the watering can about do as much harm as the digging? Once you have the first bit of turf off, the rest is easier.
If you are building raised beds, you may get away with just turning the turf over and then putting your topsoil or whatever on top. That will save a lot of digging.
