you watch tv and you look at the stars. Watch siempre con movie, tv, videos y look es mirar en general.

Watching tends to be a more focused and extended form of looking. You watch something to see what happens. You watch TV, and lots of things happen on the TV. A detective watches a house to see who comes and goes. A baseball player watches the pitcher carefully to see what kind of pitch he will throw.
Looking can be similar, but not always. When you look, usually you quickly get the information you need, and you're done looking. When you want to cross the street, you look left and right to make sure no cars are coming. It's quick, and it's over, and you cross safely. If you watched the road long enough, cars would probably come, but you are just looking to see if cars are coming right now.

@mrosinapautasso Good example with the stars. This fits what I was suggesting about how we watch things to see what will happen. When we look at the stars, we don't expect them to change, and we don't expect anything to happen, so the word "look" is appropriate.
If there's a meteor shower, on the other hand, we would watch the sky because we are hoping to see shooting stars.
