By "thumping" them with your knuckles.
As my father used to say:
If the watermelon sounds like you are thumping your head, the melon is not ripe enough.
If the watermelon sounds like you are thumping your belly, the melon is too ripe.
If the watermelon sounds like you are thumping your chest, then the melon is just right.

How can you tell if a watermelon is ripe before you cut it open?
It can only be guessed at using several methods. If it is still in the garden, the vine will turn brown and shrivel up when it get ripe. If it is in the grocery store, you thump it, and If it sounds more hollow than other watermelons, It's probably more ripe than they are. If you just have a watermelon by itself......you pretty much have to cut it open and see.

You wait until they're ripe and press the A button when you're in front of them. If you can't tell when it's ripe, then press A anyway and on a day it is ripe you'll pick it. It's not that hard, really.
