They can be used interchangeably, but “Have you watched” can describe a more general time period. For example:
“Did you watch the football game last night?”
“Have you watched that new TV show?”

Did you watch the football game last night? - I want to know the fact that wether you did or didn't. Furthermore, I didn't know if you even ever thought of doing that.
Have you watched the funny video that I told you about? - I've already known that you're going to watch it, I just don't know if you've done it "yet".

"Did you watch" is the recent past. Did you watch that show last night?
"Have you watched" means in your whole life.... Have you ever watched that movie?

All good answers above. A colloquial/slang phrase would be "Hey man, did you catch that game on Tuesday?" Meaning did you watch that game/have you watched that game?
