First have a look at the troubleshooting wiki pages at: https://surfer.nmr.mgh.harvard.edu/fswiki/FsTutorial/TroubleshootingData
In particular, Subject 1 has a skull strip problem, and the fix info is here: https://surfer.nmr.mgh.harvard.edu/fswiki/FsTutorial/SkullStripFix I'm guessing you have seen this page since you have already attempted one type of fix (adjusting the watershed parameters). The alternative fix is the slice-by-slice manual editing. You could also try adding the wsatlas flag: recon-all -s (subject) -skullstrip -wsatlas which will use an atlas to help with the skull-strip. Does the contrast of your image look good? That is, comparing your orig.mgz to that of the sample subject 'bert' included with freesurfer?
