I think both movies are great but i definitely give Watchmen the edge. I think V is an easier movie to watch though. As interesting and well developed as the characters in Watchmen are there is just something about V. Although, Manhattan is aces too. Either way, Watchmen just has more. It has a similar message as V but it also has more characters to study or latch onto.

I saw both in the theater and think both are great and some of the best in the genre. However after first impressions Watchmen made a better impact. I'll have to wait and get the dvd to see which I'm more comfortable in with the repeat viewings.
V For Vendetta. Watchmen was very good, but had length problems - just barely long enough. V was just right, and was more of an interpretation of the story, rather than a shot-for-shot adaptation, and did it with more style & less extreme violence than Watchmen resorted to.

People don't read anymore - haven't you noticed? They want to sit back and be spoonfed - actually READING something, and having to make your eyes move from left to right instead of staring blankly at a screen, and having to ACTUALLY TURN PAGES(!) - is just too much to ask of them...
Oh and - I enjoyed Watchmen more than V - V was a bit too dramatic for my taste - I enjoyed it, but I enjoyed the Watchmen film more.
