A Watt is a Joule/second. A Joule of kinetic energy is given to a
kilogram when it is accelerated so that it gains 1 meter per second
each second for a distance of a meter.

2 Joules would be 2 kilograqms, or 2 m/s, etc.

A J = (1 kg-m-m/s/s) and a W = (1 kg-m-m/s/s)/s = kg-m^2/s^3

There are lots more equivalencies that can be discerned directly from
the physics of the factor label metric system. TAKE PHYSICS!!
