In 1993 Watson was named 'Victorian Father of the Year'. In the 2002 National Draft, his son, Jobe Watson, was drafted by Essendon under the father-son rule. Tim and Jobe were both coached by the same man, Kevin Sheedy.
In 2002 Watson's nephew Jake (son of Larry Watson) died at the age of 18 after an on-field collision in an Under-19s SANFL match for West Adelaide.
