Compare watermelons that are similar in size and choose the one that feels heavier than expected.
A heavier watermelon generally contains more water, which can be a good sign when you’re looking for a juicy fruit.

A ripe watermelon often has a duller, less shiny appearance.
An extremely glossy-looking watermelon isn’t necessarily bad, but when choosing between two similar fruits, a more mature-looking, slightly dull rind can be a useful clue.
4. Don’t Judge It by Size Alone
