Using "watashi" isn't grammatically incorrect if you use it, it's just that in Japanese, if you use "watashi" when the subject (being you) is obvious too many times, people are going to think that you're self centered. If you're a guy, you can use "ore", which is what guys use to try to make themselves sounds tough (note: ore is rather informal) or you can use "boku", which is a little better to use. Again, only use "ore" or "boku" if you're a male. Girls use "atashi" in informal contexts.
