Usually you would say "looking at his watch".
If someone keeps looking at his watch repeatedly, you might say, "Why does he keep looking at his watch?"
If someone is looking at his watch repeatedly but is trying not to be too obvious about it, you might say, "Why does he keep glancing at his watch?"
If someone is looking at his watch constantly without looking away, you might say, "Why is he staring at his watch?"
