A Watcher is a bronze-colored, funnel-shaped, mechanical Heartless with a diamond-shaped opening in its front, exposing its glowing, yellow eyes. Two black, rectangular guns are mounted on either side of its body. Each of these guns sports a silver, pyramidal spike on both of its ends. There is a silver ring that acts somewhat like a {{w|gyroscope}} hovering around its base, despite not being directly connected to the Heartless. This ring bears a vague resemblance to the top half of the [[Nobody]] [[Symbols in the Kingdom Hearts series#Nobody|symbol]]. It has a silver spike on the top of its head, and its Heartless emblem is just below the opening for its eyes.

The name "Surveillance Robot" obviously refers to its mechanical nature. "Surveillance" may refer to military surveillance, a systematic set of observations, or simply "surveil", which means "to continuously monitor". The Heartless's ability to levitate would presumably make it better suited for surveillance than other Heartless. "Watcher" holds a similar meaning, and can also mean "guard".

The Surveillance Robot is not a very difficult opponent, and can prove very useful with its Sparkle Ray Reaction Command. Sparkle Ray won't damage it, however, so Sora will have to attack it directly. However, this is especially helpful in the Battle of the 1000 Heartless. Since Sparkle Ray is very powerful and it doesn't damage the Surveillance Robot, Sora can use the same Surveillance Robot again and again until all the other Heartless are destroyed.
;Attacks
*'''Twin Laser''': Fires two white lasers.
*'''Mow Down''': Spinning saucer ring attack.
*'''Charge Laser''': Fires multiple red lasers.


The Surveillance Robot often counters with its '''Mow Down''' attack when damaged, or its '''Charge Laser''' attack when damaged continuously. Its '''Twin Laser''' and Charge Laser attacks can be deflected, damaging the Heartless and causing it to become temporarily inactive.
;Reaction Commands
{{Atk-o|KH2}}
*'''Snag:''' This Reaction Command has Sora grab the Surveillance Robot and shake it.
{{Atk|{{nihongo|'''Twin Laser'''|ツインレーザー|<br>Tsuin Rēzā}}|Thunder|—|x0.65{{KHII}}<br>x1.5{{FMII}}|O|Shoots two white lasers.}}
*'''Sparkle Ray:''' After '''Snag''' a large, powerful ray of light larger than the Robot itself will erupt from it, and Sora can point it at other enemies before throwing it back into the air. This Reaction Command does not damage the Surveillance Robot itself. It is also worth noting that although this is seemingly the Surveillance Robot's most powerful attack, it cannot use it against Sora.

The Surveillance Robot is not a very difficult opponent, and can prove very useful with its Sparkle Ray [[Reaction Command]]. Sparkle Ray won't damage it, however, so Sora will have to attack it directly However, this is especially helpful in the Battle of the 1000 Heartless. Since Sparkle Ray is very powerful and it doesn't damage the Surveillance Robot, Sora can literally use the same Surveillance Robot again and again until all the Heartless are destroyed.
In ''Kingdom Hearts 358/2 Days'', the Watcher is more annoying in the sense that it shoots lasers randomly and may shoe-glue [[Roxas]], preventing him from jumping. If shoe-glued, consider using homing [[magic]] such as [[Fire]], [[Aero]], or [[Blizzard]], all of which the Watcher is weak to. It is possible to deflect the lasers back at it, but it will counter with a powerful laser that can't be blocked. Either way, it is still a very easy opponent.
