AngularJS 1.x $watch counter

counter.js

(function () { 
    var root = $(document.getElementsByTagName('body'));
    var watchers = [];

    var f = function (element) {
        if (element.data().hasOwnProperty('$scope')) {
            angular.forEach(element.data().$scope.$$watchers, function (watcher) {
                watchers.push(watcher);
            });
        }

        angular.forEach(element.children(), function (childElement) {
            f($(childElement));
        });
    };

    f(root);

    console.log(watchers.length);
})();

You can paste this in your Chrome console and see the results ;)
