So what do you think Christ meant when He told us to watch the signs so that we might know the season? Is that a suggestion we should just forget about?

No, I don't think we should "just forget" anything Christ said. The scripture you reference and others can be and have been interpreted in various ways. To be fair let's look at some other verses. Mark 13: 32-35 says:
But of that day and that hour knoweth no man, no, not the angels which are in heaven, neither the Son, but the Father. Take ye heed, watch and pray: for ye know not when the time is. For the Son of Man is as a man taking a far journey, who left his house, and gave authority to his servants, and to every man his work, and commanded the porter to watch. Watch ye therefore: for ye know not when the master of the house cometh, at even, or at midnight, or at the cockcrowing, or in the morning:
Acts 1: 6-7 says: When they therefore were come together, they asked of him, saying, Lord, wilt thou at this time restore again the kingdom to Israel? And he said unto them, It is not for you to know the times or the seasons, which the Father hath put in his own power.
So there it specifically says it is NOT for you to know the times or the seasons.
