So you sent bitcoin to another watch-only address, do you own that address? If not, you can't spend the funds.

I asked if you own the address, there's a big difference. If you do not own the address, you don't have the corresponding private key to spend it

Bitcoin transactions are irreversible. You cannot cancel or reclaim them. Therefore you cannot now redirect those bitcoins to the right wallet.

Watch-only addresses are controlled only by whoever knows the corresponding private-key.

If you know who owns the private-key to the watch-only address, you can ask them to make a new payment to you of the same amount you sent them. You have to rely on their charity.
