History
The Watchers were known to be oldest species in the universe, and are committed to observing and compiling knowledge on all aspects of the universe without any interference. This policy of non-interference is due to a well-meaning attempt by the Watchers to bestow knowledge on another race which resulted in that race destroying itself. Despite this, the Watcher Uatu has revealed himself to the superhero team the Fantastic Four, and aids them on several occasions against global threats such as the Molecule Man, Galactus and the Overmind. After blatant interference with the mission of the Kree soldier Mar-vell, Uatu is put on trial by his own race, but is released on the provision that he never directly interfere again.
Uatu is later banished by his race for aiding the Fantastic Four against the threat of his rogue nephew, Aron, the Renegade Watcher, who tries to destroy the universe. The Dreaming Celestial later scans Uatu and learns the Watcher has broken his pact of non-interference almost 400 times. The Celestial also reveals the Watchers, like the Celestials themselves, are servants of a concept called Fulcrum, with apparent consequences for interference.
Alternate Universe Watchers
Ultimate Watchers (Earth-1610)
In the Earth-1610 universe, the Watchers are stone totem-like, alien supercomputers with a large red eye that "watches" everything happening in the universe. The Watchers have (not too discretely) witnessed significant events on Earth ranging from Steven Rogers' injection with the super-soldier serum and Magneto's establishment in the Savage Land. By the modern day, the Watchers foresaw a great devastation that will happen on Earth and had chosen Rick Jones as their herald to face this coming crisis.

Notes
- Antiphon, one of the Proemial Gods (the first lifeforms to appear in the current universe), bears strong a resemblance to the Watchers. His connection (if any) has yet to be explained, though he was tasked with "with monitoring cosmic consonance", and was completely neutral in the battle between his brethren and Galactus, which his task and characteristic trait are quite similar to the Watchers.
