Back in the 70s when I taught electricity and electronics (for 10+ years), the watt always referred to the amount of current x the voltage used over time.
An Ampere being one coulomb. (A coulomb is equal to exactly 6.24150962915265 ×10 to the 18th elementary charges.).
Or, a whole big bunch of electrons!!
Here ya go!
Watt - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
