out<<'\n'<<record[i].getpic();
out<<'\n'<<record[i].getwatch();

Here is some basic code for reading/writing. Though you might find something better elsewhere. \n is used as delimiter. Each record should have 2 fields (in yours it is 7 fields). Each field must be single-line string. Ps, you get more attention with c++ tag on your question.
int main()
{
{
ofstream f("data.txt");
f << "id1" << endl;
f << "name1" << endl;
f << endl;
f << "id2" << endl;
f << "name2" << endl;
f << endl;
}
{
ifstream f("data.txt");
string id;
string name;
while (f)
{
f >> id;
f >> name;
if (!f) break;
cout << "id: " << id << endl;
cout << "name: " << name << endl;
cout << endl;
}
}
return 0;
}
