First of all - founded matches are gathered in a third argument $matches.

Second - you need to consider a dot(.) in your regexp:

preg_match("/(\d+\.\d+W)/", $string, $matches);
print_r($matches);
echo $matches[0];   // full match found

If . is optional - then:

preg_match("/(\d+(\.{0,1})\d+W)/", $string, $matches);
print_r($matches);
echo $matches[0];   // full match found
