You can watch objects to get notified when something happens on an Issue linked to an Object or the Object itself.
This can be useful if you want to get notified when an issue is reported on a specific system component or when issues are connected to a certain release version. It can also be interesting to know if changes are made on an Insight Object "Customer X" and you are the account manager for that customer.
You start watching an Insight Object by clicking the "Watch" button on the right side. You can also see how many other Insight users are watching the same Object.
You can clearly see that you are currently watching this Object:
Click "Stop Watching" to remove you from outgoing Object notifications.
