Is this true? $500k? You sent half a million dollars to an address without carefully checking and double-checking?
Your only chance is if you know who owns that watch address.
If.
Is there any way to recover the key??
Theoretically, yes... realistically, No.Given the keyspace is finite, then by trying every combination you would eventually find it. However, given the keyspace is so large, the sun is likely to have died and all life on Earth extinguished before you can test them all.
How did you originally generate this "watching only" address? Did you originally have the private key held in a different wallet.dat file that has now been lost?
Since private key its the important things for this matter, so you should start step from beginning.
where is your watch source? from web wallet or desktop?
hopes there is any support from those wallet.

Where did you get this watch address? Is there any way to recover the key??
If you don't have the private key for that address from the start, it is IMPOSSIBLE for you to get the private key at any point of time.
