It depends on the type of watch, but in general, watchkeeping in the Navy refers to fire/safety/security access patrols at shore bases, and the same thing for vessels in-port.

For vessels in-port, there are also added requirements for different watchstanders to monitor for any draft changes, lists, providing general safety announcements, announcing ranking Naval officers (e.g., ship Captains, Flag Commanders) who are arriving for a visit, and keeping an eye on the surrounding area for any approaching threats (e.g., small boats).
