i always believd they were equal in power but the celestials used cosmic when the watchers used Psionic Energy
Psionic Energy, which is assumed to be an invisible, unknown form of energy generated by all living brains that has the ability to manipulate other forms of matter and energy.
The Power Cosmic is a force that can alter reality, allowing the user to do whatever he/she wants (including breaking the laws of physics) only being limited by how much cosmic energy the character can tap at a time. It seems to be part of the universe itself, and is mostly used by Cosmic Entities.
I just heard something to the affects that the Celestials once Caught the Watchers and Held them.

What exactly is this list?
watcher's were captured OUT of continuity, though it has been believed watchers and celestials are natural enemies - watchers have oathes of NON-interference, while the celestials are ALWAYS tampering and experimenting.
as far as galactus=celestial, i'm not so sure of that. feat wise, celestials have done FAR more than galactus in continuity. in an early ff, the watcher was said to be equal to galactus, or at the least enormously close to him in power. and don't forget, that was just ONE watcher. the whole race of them (how many i don't think has ever been said) would be an impossibly difficult foe for nearly any being to handle.
