we go to our 4th puppy class at Petsmart Saturday afternoon.
The first training class the trainer showed us how to teach the command " Watch Me".....I taught Gordon. To be honest, I doing it often during the day, will say it and he sits and watches me, he has learn the command pretty well.
He has learned sit, down, walk nice on a leash, leave it and give......now those commandments , I can why you would want them to learn.
On our second and third class, the trainer asked are we teaching them the commands , sit, down , leave it, walk nice on leash, and give......she has never mention Watch Me again.

What do you use "Watch Me" for?
I understand you want them to look at you and hold eye contact....but Gordon does anytime I give him any of the other commands.

The only thing I have used the command for is to take his picture....and he will look at me, and I hold the treat right above the camera.....he sits and watches me until I release him and give him the treat.

So what do you use it for?
