A kraken is a giant sea monster of some sort, and I remember reading somewhere (not in anything by Tolkien, sadly) that they takes thousands and thousands of years to grow to their full size, so that might apply to the Watcher in the Water. Also, it said that it had 'eight, wavery, wobbly, legs', so that's a further implication.
