*checks some more* Giles calls them the "Council of Watchers" in Checkpoint but again in Triangle it's "Watcher's Council".
I tend to think the Council views themselves as one entity. Quentin even implies that in how the Slayer dies, the Council remains. So I can see them looking at themselves so much as one body that they call themselves "the Watcher's Council". The great body as a whole is The Watcher. The individuals are watchers. I think it's an idiosyncrasy that relies upon self-determination of identity, not the rules of grammar per se.
