''This is my team now and we go out there to win every game,'' she said.
The Steel pummelled the Tactix 90-41 last week and Watson certainly understands what it is like to be on the other side of a lopsided scoreline.
Before shifting south to join the Steel in 2015, she played for the Tactix and knows how hard it is to stop the Steel scoring.
Steel star shooter Jhaniele Fowler-Reid posted a record 70 goals in the 49-goal romp against the Tactix.
Watson was happily watching from the other end, but back in 2013 she was desperately trying to prevent the towering Jamaican from popping in goals.
The Steel beat the Tactix 79-62 in Dunedin and 75-56 in Christchurch and Fowler-Reid scored 65 goals each time. Watson was part of the powerless defensive unit and you might have thought that experience would have shaped her into a bit of a softie, but you would be wrong.
''She is a tall target, but you get half of the possession given to you so your shooters need to score off that. I guess there is a lot to say about any team and how they work to combat that.''
As far as Watson is concerned, the only down side to scoring goals so rapidly is the team is back on defence in a hurry. But that is also an opportunity for Watson to shine.
She is one of the most effective defenders in the competition and leads the tournament with 32 deflections. She is also in the top five for intercepts and top 10 for rebounding.
But you will not find her name in the top 10 for penalties, which means her opponents have been forced to shoot over her guard. That is probably the most impressive statistic.
The steady stream of turnover ball has helped the Steel go on a four-game winning streak to start the season.
It will put its unbeaten record to the test against the Northern Stars in Auckland tonight.
The Steel dispatched the Stars 75-57 in the opening round and should be too strong again.
The Stars have a wonderful defender in the veteran Leana de Bruin and a very decent midcourt which includes Courtney Tairi and Kayla Cullen.
The game should be more competitive than the earlier fixture. But there must be nagging doubts the Stars can match the Steel's potent attack.
The Steel is averaging 77.75 goals a game this season, while Fowler-Reid is averaging 56.75, which is well above her Steel career average of 47.6.
Teams have looked to double team Fowler-Reid in the hope of shutting her down. But she is such a tall target at 1.98m, and so skilful you could probably put three defenders on her and she is still going to come up with ball.
The night will be a nice occasion for veteran Steel midcourter Wendy Frew. The 32-year-old will be playing her 150th national league match.
Frew played 39 matches in the former New Zealand league, 106 in the former transtasman tournament and has played in all four games for the Steel this season.
