Where is the watch window located in Microsoft Visual Studio 2013?

Currently I'm using the Community version of Visual Studio and having trouble finding the Watch Window or its equivalent. In previous versions of Express studio there was the option to open the Watch Window in the Debug dropdown.

The Watch, Local, Auto, and all Debug related windows will only appear in the menu if the debugger is currently debugging a program. This has been changed in Visual Studio 2013.

  1. Press F5 to start debugging.
  2. Debug → Windows → Auto / Local / Watch

That's all you need to do.

I think that Ctrl+Alt+Q will bring up the Watch window (default key bindings). Menu wise it is located under Debug→Windows→Watch→4 options listed

Check out this MSDN article for more info.
