present continuous implies future intentions, arrangements: I'll be watching you - I intend to watch you. future tense implies firm decision: I will watch you - without a shadow of a doubt. |

| + And also, if I remember right, the Present Continuous refers to a nearer, more palpable future, than the Present Simple (Indefinite), just on the account of the above-mentioned - you have made arrangements for the action you express using the Present Continous. Am I right? |
