Answer: to watch

Explanation: The gerund is defined as a form that is derived from a verb but that functions as a noun, in English ending in -ing. The infinitive is defined as the basic form of a verb, without an inflection binding it to a particular subject or tense. So, choose the -ing word (watching) and make it the infinitive (to watch).
