You usually use see with a direct object, so I see someone/something.
You look AT someone/something, or FOR someone/something.
You can watch TV, films, videos, people; it's more that you're ACTIVELY watching; so for instance, you can see a tree WHILE you're watching people. Watching implies a kind of following or awareness of what is happening; seeing is just noticing something.
