The Watch List panel displays all current watch expressions. A watch expression is a script variable, property or object, keyword test variable or an expression whose current value you wish to track during a debugging session. The current value of the object is considered as a set of current values of the object’s non-indexed properties.
Here is a sample view of the panel:
