Hello Ang
In Barry's absence (temporary, I'm sure) I can tell you that it's quite easy to do this. If you click on 'My Stuff' in the menu bar at the top then choose 'My Watch Lists'. In this window you will see 3 separate 'tabs' at the top: Watched Forums, Watched Topics, and Watched Users. Click on whichever of these you want to put a watch (or watches) on, and then click on the 'Edit watched <thing>' button, e.g. 'Edit Watched Forums'. Within that window, click the radio button against each of the things you want to keep a watch on.
Give that a try, and if you still have problems come back to us.
Clive
