To look (+ at) is to make efforts to see, to examine or to consider: look at your watch; look at the results; he wouldn't look at my plan.

To watch is to look at in the sense of 'to observe': I hardly ever watch television.

To see is to sense with your eyes: some animals can see in the dark.

To gaze is to look steadily for a long time: she was gazing out to sea.
