If you are watching someone do something sneaky and fail to pick up on it, that is a fail. It is also a fail if you are watching someone who is actively hemoting and you miss the hemote.
Watch and hemote are best friends and I have used them both rather constantly since I started playing, because watch gives you a much better chance of seeing the hemotes of the person you are watching than scan does, although scan gives you a limited but increased from no skill sort of chance to see -everyone's- hemotes.
Find someone who uses sleight of hand and/or hemote and/or hide regularly. Watch them all the time. That should raise your skill from novice to apprentice over the course of 10-15 hours played around them fresh out of character generation. After that, much like with most skills, you are less likely to fail, and thus further progress will take longer.
