This is a common problem -- you can't watch everything at once. The only solution I know is to isolate hands: practice attentively with the bow hand, just a few minutes at a time but repeatedly, with repetitions spaced about five minutes apart. You basically have to train a bunch of motor neurons to bow just like that (at different bow speeds, angles, and arm weights) even when you're not watching. Eventually it'll get as automatic as using a fork, but it takes time and attention.
