haven't watched vs didn't watch

Both "haven't watched" and "didn't watch" are correct; however, they're used in different contexts. "Haven't watched" is used when referring to an action that hasn't been completed up to the present moment. On the other hand, "didn't watch" is used to refer to an action that wasn't completed in the past.
