Swansea made the early running and Liam Walsh sent a volley just over before Watford keeper Gabriel Ortelli plucked a Kristian Fletcher cross off the head of Filip Lissah.
However, Kyrell Wilson put the hosts ahead after 13 minutes, and then struck again a quarter of an hour later to make it 2-0.
It was 3-0 when Liam Smith scored in the 35th minutes and the Hornets were staring down the barrel.
A goal from Jack Grieves three minutes before the interval gave Watford a route back into the game and they went into half-time with only a two-goal deficit to deal with.
Just three minutes after the restart Gyamfi struck his first of the game to make it 3-2, and only another three minutes had elapsed when Collins squared the game at 3-3.
With 20 minutes to go both Fletcher and Wilson had chances to put Swansea back in front, but they did make it 4-3 in the 74th minute with Wilson completing his hat-trick.
However Charlie Daniels’ sided dug deep and in the 79th minute Gyamfi netted again to earn a point.
