I came across the following help message added in commit 1a759c83278:

+       HELP0("  WATCH_INTERVAL\n"
+                 "    number of seconds \\watch by default waits between executing the query buffer\n");

It took me a little while to understand it.

I'm on board with tweaking this.

How about the attached?  We already have "(default: X)" in other places so this
aligns it better while simplifying the language.
