      The only way to experience watermelon is growing your own. Which, I know, is impossible for most people.

      Store watermelons are picked a bit green and ripen on route.

      When allowed to ripen on the vine, the sugar content keeps rising and the melon is a different level of sweetness.

      The second-best option is buying direct from a local farmer. Again, not available to many.
