watch: To look or observe attentively or carefully; be closely observant.
look: To employ one's sight, especially in a given direction or on a given object.
stare: To look directly and fixedly, often with a wide-eyed gaze.
see: To perceive with the eye.
Is this what you're looking for?

Thank you, thank you.
