Personal life
Janet attended South Hampstead High School which was known for being specialized in teaching science .Janet Watson attended Reading University to study General Science in 1943. After a convincing recommendation from Professor H.L Hawkins and a first class General Honors degree, Watson attended Imperial College. She graduated in 1947 with a first class honors in Geology.

Career
Prior to graduating, Janet's interest in geology was spurred after working on a mapping project in the Scotland Highlands in 1946. Watson enrolled for her Ph.D in 1947 and began studying the Lewisian Complex in north Scotland. After receiving her Ph.D in 1949, Janet and her husband; John Sutton, continued their involvement with Imperial College. In 1952, Janet worked under H.H. Read as a Research Assistant, until 1973 when she became a Senior Lecturer.

Around the 1960's, Janet and her research team collaborated with survey geologists from the Highlands Unit of the Institute of Geological Sciences (IGS) to study the Outer Hebrides in Scotland. Later on, they published maps of the region in 1982 as well as a memoir in 1994.

From the mid-1970's Jane worked with the IGS to study the post-Caledonian evolution of Scotland and the effects that diagenesis and hydrothermal activity had on the region.

From 1977, Jane worked with the IGS again to study the structural evolution of northern Scotland and it's effects on uranium distribution throughout the region. From this study, they developed "steam sediment sampling" which was a technique used to study geochemical problems.

Throughout her career, Janet continued her research in certain regions of the world, including: Greenland, the Channel Islands, Italy and Tanganyika. From this work she also published around 65 research papers.
