If your stew is watery, it's likely because you've added too much liquid. When making stew, you need to allow enough time for the ingredients to cook down and thicken the broth. If you add too much liquid at the beginning, it will take longer to reduce and will result in a watery stew. To avoid this, start by adding just enough liquid to cover the ingredients. Then, as the stew cooks and the ingredients release their juices, you can add more liquid if needed. The key is to go slowly so that you don't end up with a soupy mess!
