AngularJS : Difference between the $observe and $watch methods

I know that both Watchers and Observers are computed as soon as something in $scope changes in AngularJS. But couldn’t understand what exactly is the difference between the two.

My initial understanding is that Observers are computed for angular expressions which are conditions on the HTML side where as Watchers executed when $scope.$watch() function is executed. Am I thinking properly?
