Who they are
Uatu sees every branch of the multiverse and describes them in a voice that makes each one sound inevitable. The oath not to interfere is the only rule he has, which makes What If...? a series about a narrator gradually running out of ways to keep it.

From the comics
Sworn, and constantly breaking it
The Watchers took their oath after an earlier act of well-meant interference wrecked a civilisation, and Uatu — assigned to Earth from the Blue Area of the Moon — has broken it more often than any of them. His people eventually put him on trial for exactly that.
