The Championship match was into the sixth minute of added time, with the Pilgrims on the brink of just a second home defeat of the season, when Gray, playing against one of his former clubs, scored with a superb curling shot.
The ball flew into the net in front of the Devonport End, with Watford Daniel Bachmann rooted to the spot, and the Green Army exploded into noise goalkeeper No sooner had referee Andy Davies restarted the game than he blew for full-time and Argyle had clinched a point which had seemed beyond them for most of the match.
Watford striker Vakoun Bayo had opened the scoring early on but Gray equalised out of the blue with a tremendous first time volley in the 23rd minute.
The visitors restored their advantage late in the first half through defender Ryan Porteous and they rarely looked like losing it until Gray came up with his moment of magic for his third goal in five games for the Pilgrims.
Defender Lewis Gibson returned to action for Argyle against Watford after missing the previous four matches due to a thigh injury, and also captained the side as well.
There was one other change to the starting line-up from the 1-1 draw away to Derby County, which had been before the third international break of the season on November 9 as Gray made just his second start for Argyle.
Mustapha Bundu and Callum Wright dropped down to the bench while Ryan Hardie, who was a second half substitute against Derby was missing from the matchday squad due to a groin issue...
Gibson played as the left-sided central defender as Argyle lined up in a 3-4-1-2 formation, with Julio Pleguezuelo and Kornel Szucs alongside him.
Matty Sorinola and Bali Mumba were the wing-backs with Darko Gyabi and Adam Randell in central midfield. Morgan Whittaker was in the number 10 role behind the two strikers of Gray and Michael Obafemi.
