tired

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'weary of watching' is the definition.
'tired' can be an answer for 'weary' (I've seen this before). I am not certain of the 'of watching' bit.

'romeo bound around' is the wordplay.
'romeo' becomes 'R' (phonetic alphabet: alpha, bravo, charlie etc.).
'bound' becomes 'tied' ('tie' can be a synonym of 'bind').
'around' is an insertion indicator.
'r' going into 'tied' is 'TIRED'.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for tired that I've seen before include "Whacked" , "Beat" , "ready for bed" , "Weary, jaded" , "Played out" .)
