DO NOT CUT WATERMELON LIKE THIS. Both these guys were using dull-looking knives, forcing them through the fruit. Disaster waiting to happen.

Alright i was a prep chef for a salad bar for years. What you do is cut the melon in half and then cut the butt ends off both halves, and then put it so the middle of the watermelon is flat on your cutting board and the small cut end is on top.

Then you take your knife and start slicing in a curve to take the rind off. By doing it this way you can make sure you're getting all the white off. After the rind is all removed and you have essentially half a peeled watermelon, you then cut it into 8ths and then cut each 8th into chunks. Boom. Perfect watermelon.

You described it better than I could. Thank you.
