How to translate “watch” in the context of “Can you watch my things while I go to the bathroom?”

After OP’s edit I specify my answer is about French as spoken in France, although I’m pretty sure what I say is also said in Québec, I don’t know if they have specific phrases over there.

Surveiller and faire attention are the usual translation of “watch” in the sense of “look after”.

  • Peux-tu surveiller mes affaires pendant que je vais aux toilettes ?

  • Peux-tu faire attention à mes affaires pendant que je vais aux toilettes ?

Garder, and not regarder, might also be used.

  • Peux-tu garder mes affaires ?

Some people might say garder un œil sur but it is really felt as a word for word translation from English.

Watch my stuff in this context just means “protect” so any translations with that meaning would be ideal.
Garder un œil is the most common used

On peut dire effectivement « Peux-tu garder un œil sur …»
On utilise aussi souvent l’expression « Jeter un œil »:

Peux-tu jeter un œil sur mes affaires pendant que je vais aux toilettes ?
