How can I watch the output that was filtered with grep?

You need to enclose the piped command in quotes as follows:
watch -n 2 'gsettings list-recursively|grep text-scal'
This will execute the command gsettings list-recursively|grep text-scal and watch it every two seconds. Note that the time interval is in seconds.
Refer to watch's manual page for more.

I want to watch the changes of the output
gsettings list-recursively|grep text-scalwhich is
org.gnome.desktop.interface text-scaling-factor 1.0 com.canonical.Unity.Interface text-scale-factor 1.0but if I try to watch it with
watch gsettings list-recursively|grep text-scalI get no output, because the pipe seems to be the problem.
How can I still watch the changes?
