how is watchtower better than this?

https://github.com/Polymer/observe-js/blob/master/src/observe.js

I don't know... maybe it is just me, but this project seems like a duplication of effort? Maybe work to improve observe.js instead?

(it's even copyright google. heh.)

This has been discussed in the draft, the plan is to write this code in a pluggable manner so that a native O.o implementation could be used (for certain cases) when it's available. Unfortunately, native O.o currently leaves certain things to be desired (it can't invoke methods or ES5 getter/setters currently, based on Rob's tests), and the polyfill also leaves a lot to be desired as well.

Admittedly, the initial implementation kind of sucks and will need to be refactored a fair bit to make sense for JS, but yes, unfortunately the O.o polyfill doesn't meet all of the requirements (and nor does the native implementation)
