"seeing"

Hello,
I´m confused about the word "seeing".
Would it be o.k . to say: "I´m sitting here, in my favorite theater, watching a movie?" I doubt it. Though, not being a native speaker of English, I cant be sure.

How about: "Are you seeing clearly through your new pair of glasses?"

Or: "Had I not run into a traffic jam, I would right now be seeing the opening ceremony of the olympic games?"

Thank you, in advance, for answering.

k . " Yes. That's fine, though it has nothing to do with your question about the use of 'seeing'.

Thank you so much for your answer. It seems, though, I really am confused. Because what I originally intended to ask is: Would it be correct to say: "I am sitting here, in my favorite theater, SEEING a movie?"

Thank you again

'watching' is more idiomatic, but 'seeing' is also possible. So yes, it would be correct to say that.
