According to the University of Illinois website, an uncut watermelon will stay fresh at room temp for about two weeksafter being harvested.
By practical experience, I just cut open a watermelon that has been sitting in my kitchen floor that I purchased two monthsago. I had taken a vacation, and when I came back I had to clean out my refrigerator, and saw it in my kitchen. Curiously, when I opened the watermelon, there was no noticeable interactions from the environment. No decay, elements of nitrogen interaction, it just looked fine. And when opening it, it still was tasty. So, in hope of a good melon, I'll keep it around and refrigerate the remainder that I did not yet finish initially. Perhaps it would have been a better melon two weeks ago?

If it feels soft, throw it away. If it doesn't feel soft, puncture the rind with your fingernail. You will feel a snap if the watermelon is still good. Watermelon doesn't really spoil very fast. The inside just becomes more juicy and the texture becomes soft. The market keeps watermelons for several weeks before someone buys them.
