I believe it is part of the new functionality they are (slowly) adding to the game.

Right now I think there is a small "beta testing" league for volunteers who want to demo the new scripts that have been written. The idea (are right now it looks like more of a pipedream than anything, lol) is to eventually allow every game that is played to be viewed in real-time, with stats, effects, the whole things. At the same time, they're also looking to improve the gameplay itself (to put it nicely, there are *a few* bugs in the game right now), but right now it looks like that's been put on the backburner a little bit as this live in-game view idea is being explored.


EDIT: To answer your question specifically... as far as I know, that "Watch" button will not be activated for awhile, until the testing period is completed satisfactorily.
EDIT 2: Save for those few games that are being played in the beta testing league.
