Yeah, this sounds like a good idea to show it at each iteration if the title is set. I am not sure we would want to treat that as a bug fix as nothing is broken, it looks more like a new feature.
I would agree...but wouldn't personally argue against the bug-fix interpretation. Given the nature of watch, that it is used for human interaction, the odds of it being used in an automation environment - where a change in layout could have an impact - it highly unlikely.

What I have been doing in such cases until now is updating the name of the terminal tab to identify what was going on.
Except I run my two monitor queries inside a tmux pane and so cannot directly give them names. I get the point and probably a window name would end up being sufficient.
