Answer 1

Something needs to change $rootScope.currentUser for you to be able to notice any changes in it. You have shared the code for that.

Also changes to $rootScope.currentUser need to take place inside the angularJS loop (http://docs.angularjs.org/guide/concepts). If it is done externally you can call $digest (http://docs.angularjs.org/api/ng.$rootScope.Scope#$digest)

Answer 2

The syntax was $rootScope.$watch('currentUser') not $rootScope.$watch($rootScope.currentUser)
