Check the stem

If the stem is green, the watermelon was picked before it had the chance to become ripe. If it’s brown, the watermelon was ripened on the vine.

Yellow watermelon color

Check for the obvious yellow color on the watermelon. If there’s not a yellow spot or a faint white spot, the watermelon did not have enough time to bathe in the sun. The yellow spot means it’s ripe.
