"Worse" is not the word, let's say "more important": Tornado warning is more important. A tornado "watch" means weather conditions are such that there is a possibility a tornado could form. But there have been no tornadoes as of yet. A Tornado warning means A tornado has been spotted/touched down in your alert area. You should take cover if a tornado warning is issued for your area; go into a cellar, or the lowest, most inner part of your house where there are no windows (a downstairs or basement bathroom is ideal). Tornado watch? Merely continue to monitor the weather broadcasts.
A tornado watch is issued where general conditions across a region will favorable for the formation of tornadoes over the next few hours. Such an advisory does not indicate an imminent tornado threat for any given location; that would warrant a tornado warning.
A warning is generally the worse advisory. Although it differs depending on which sort of watch or warning is issued, a watch means a particular event is possible. For example, if there is a tornado watch, it means that conditions are favorable for a tornado to form. A warning means the event is expected or probable. In a tornado warning, for example, it means that a tornado has been spotted or is forming.
A tornado watch means that general weather conditions are right for tornadoes to form, even if there is no imminent threat. If there is immediate danger of a tornado then a tornado warning will be issued. To help you remember, a tornado watch simply tells you to watch out.
If there is a tornado watch what you have to remember is that it does not mean there is an imminent threat of tornadoes. Even when you area is under a tornado watch, your chances of actually having a tornado are still quite small.

No, if a tornado is spotted a tornado warning is issued .A tornado watch is not as bad as a tornado warning is. The watch just means that it is the type of weather that could POSSIBLY produce a tornado. It doesnt even mean that there is rotation or high winds. A warning is something to worry about though.
No, a tornado watch is issued when the general weather conditions can produces tornadoes. If a tornado is spotted a tornado warning is issued.

If a tornado is spotted or detected, or if a rotation is detected that is likely to lead to a tornado, that is when a warning is issued. A watch simply means that conditions are favorable for tornadoes, but does not mean that there is an imminent threat. So a tornado is more likely to strike when a warning is issued.
Yes. A tornado watch simply means that general conditions are favorable for tornadoes to form. A tornado warning means that a tornado has been detected or may form at any moment.
