import com.atlassian.jira.issue.watchers.WatcherManager;

WatcherManager wm = ComponentAccessor.getWatcherManager();
List<String> watchers=wm.getCurrentWatcherUsernames(issue);

How about this:

import com.atlassian.jira.issue.watchers.WatcherManager;
import java.util.Locale;

WatcherManager wm = ComponentAccessor.getWatcherManager();
Collection<User> watchers = wm.getCurrentWatchList(issue, Locale.ENGLISH);
