My father just bought a bakery there and I was wondering how big of a town it is and how far by car is it from Saskatoon?

Never been there personally, although I grew up in Saskatchewan.
However this is from a website I found:
Watson, Saskatchewan
Watson is located 100 miles east of Saskatoon and 120 miles north of Regina, at the crossroads of two major highways, No. 5 and 6. Watson is a quiet friendly community which boasts a good location for starting a business, raising a family or retirement. The weather in Watson ranges from 15C - 30C in the heat of the summer and +5C - -40C in the winter. Watson offers a crime free environment having its own Municipal Police Service in the community since 1918.
Watson has a present population of 884 people. The trading area consists of approximately 7,500 people all within a 25 mile radius. The economic base is agriculture which is complemented by many industrial and manufacturing firms and all lines of business are represented. A canola gathering station has just been built on the outskirts of the community.
Watson is also situated within minutes of excellent waterfowl hunting at the Quill Lakes which has been named the Quill Lakes Western Hemisphere Shorebird Reserve Site.
The Town of Watson offers primary and secondary education programs, including Kindergarten to Grade 12. The recreation facilities in Watson include, artificial ice arena, three sheet curling rink and bowling lanes.

Watson would be about one hour or so from Saskatoon by car. It's a fairly small town, but a pretty pleasant small town.
Small towns are funny places. Some people absolutely love them and others simply hate them. I guess it all depends what kind of an attitude you have when you move there. If you're looking for shopping malls and glitz, no, you won't find them there. But if you're looking for interesting people and interesting times, yes, you could have a lot of fun.
Me, after a short while in a small town, I just decided to stop resisting and give in to it, and pretty soon I absolutely loved the place.
Yes, life is funny. If I never visit another shopping mall in my life, that's just fine with me!
