Definition of Watch-only Adress:
An address or pubkey script stored in the wallet without the corresponding private key, allowing the wallet to watch for outputs but not spend them.
So you should find your private keys in order to spend these adresses

I had to open up the old wallet, wait for the wallet to sync and then I transferred all the coins out from the old wallet to the new wallet.
You should probably edit this to say that this is a workaround. By transferring the bitcoin from one wallet to another, you didn't import the private keys, you simply spent the bitcoin to yourself. – Jestin – 2016-05-31T21:28:56.177
looks like almost all of my transactions are labeled as (watch only). – henry1834 – 2016-05-13T20:44:05.980
Did you specifically add these addresses as watch-only? If all your transactions are labeled as watch-only that sounds like you don't have the private keys in your wallet which would explain why your spendable amount is not updating. – m1xolyd1an – 2016-05-14T02:00:01.903
I upgraded computers and had to reload bitcoin. I did add addresses manually. is there a way that I can find my private key to remove the "watch only"?? – henry1834 – 2016-05-14T12:28:30.603
