1 Watt = 1 Joule / Second = 1 Newton-meter / Second.
The joule is a derived unit equivalent to a newton-meter, or a kilogram-meter squared per second per second.The joule is the unit of energy in the International System of Units, also known as SI. It measures heat, electricity and mechanical work. It was named after English physicist James Prescott Joule.For more information see the answer to the Related Question.
Newton is a measure of force, Joule is a measure of work done. Newton refers to the mechanical energy of moving matter, while joule refers to any form of energy possessed by matter. E.g. W = f X d where W is work in joules, f is force in newtons, and d is distance in meters.
Force / distance / time? Never heard of it. Could you mean Newton Meter per Second (Force x Distance / time) in which case the answer is a Watt (SI unit of power) EDIT - by RCCOLA - SI unit of resistance Newton/ (m/s) = (N*s) / m I have seen and calculated problems with this as a drag force. So a "Newton per meter per second" is a resistance unit. example: A drag force of 17N is experienced by a R/C boat traveling at 15km/hr. RD= F/v Where RD = drag resistance, F = Force, and v = speed RD= 17N/15km/hr = 4.09 Newtons per meter per second (convert km to m and hr to s)

A Newton meter is a device that measures force. The simple ones that you typically see in high school laboratories use a spring that stretches or is compressed as a force is applied. They have an indicator needle that shows how much force is applied. See link below for a picture. More sophisticated ones typically use load cells to more accurately measure the force. Some people believe they were invented by Isaac newton but this is not the case. The SI unit of force is called a Newton in his honor. Since these meters measure force they are named after this unit. There is sometimes confusion with a Newton Meter (note different spelling) which is the SI unit of torque. (Turning force.)

The newton metre is a unit of torque (or moment).
Joules versus wattsThe joule and the watt are closely related units. The joule is a unit of work and energy. It is equal to a newton-meter (N-m). Note that the unit of torque is also the newton-meter, but scientists don't use the word joule when they are talking about torque.The watt is a unit of power and is defined as a joule per second, so you can see that power is work per unit time.One joule is equal to one watt-second.
The Joule is a unit of energy, while the Watt is a unit of power. Joule is the alternate name for a Newton-meter of energy, and Watt is the alternate name for a Newton-meter per second of power. This means that one Watt is one Joule per second; a 100-Watt light bulb converts 100 Joules of electrical energy every second into heat energy and light energy.

BTU, calorie, erg, foot pound, electron volt, watt hour, newton meter
not any relation between mega watt and gallons of diesel.
There is no volt meter or amp meter in a DC watt meter.
Not quite, but you're very close to the right track.When a force of one newton acts through a distance of one meter, as youdescribed it, the amount of work done is one joule .If you did it in one second, then the power of that action was one watt.
Watt is a unit of power, newton is a unit of force. 1 joule (unit of enrgy) is equal to one newton-meter, and one watt (unit of power) is equal to one joule/second, so 1 W = 1 Nm/s.
So that the result that you find on the watt meter after resetting it will be accurate
1 joule is the same (by definition) as 1 newton x 1 meter. It is also the same as 1 watt x 1 second.
