Ah, come on. This doesn't really seem like an issue we should spend
more time quibbling about. I think Tom's version is fine.
Tom doesn't care enough to veto and you don't really care...
I'll admit it's awkward because it's abbreviated but if someone enters \watch 5 and then sees (5s) in the title I think they can put two and two together.
If the watched query takes a long to run, or there is a disruption, knowing when the last one ran and how often it is supposed to run is useful info to have at ones fingertips. I have done this myself occasionally so I'm not speaking from theory. But I won't complain if its removed.
