How to Sign "Watch" in American Sign Language (ASL)

Make a "V" shape with your main hand near your eye, palm facing you. This movement traces outward to show the act of watching, which is how you sign "watch" in American Sign Language. For signing a wristwatch instead, hold your non-dominant hand in a "C" shape facing up and tap your wrist with your other hand's index finger. You'll know which sign to pick based on what you're talking about. These signs work everywhere, from casual chats to formal meetings.
