Watermelons have a 'field spot'—the area that was resting on the ground. A creamy yellow spot indicates ripeness.

Now the 2-finger trick! Tap the middle of the melon with your fingers. A hollow sound means it's ripe. A dull sound may indicate over-ripeness.

Lastly, consider the weight. It should feel heavy for its size as this suggests a juicy, sweet fruit.
