The user's task when using Add Watch is to see the contents of a variable. When a watch is added, the newly watched variable should be shown to the user. Therefore, a) If the Debugger window is not visible, then it should become visible. b) If the watch list is long enough to have a vertical scroll bar, then the watch window should be scrolled to disply the watch. In summary the watched variable should be made visible and the user should be able to predict where this will be.
