A whole watermelon lasts for up to 4 weeks before it goes bad.

Once you pick or buy a watermelon from the store the watermelon should be eaten within a few weeks before it has time to go bad.

If the watermelon is becoming soft and mushy then it likely is bad.

Cut watermelon will last for up to 4 days before it goes bad.

Once you cut up a watermelon you should store the rest of the cut up watermelon in the refrigerator.

If you're not eating the entire watermelon after cutting it open you should cut the rest of the watermelon up into cubes or small slices or small pieces of watermelon and then store the watermelon in an airtight container.

Then keep the cut up watermelon in the airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 4 days.

After 4 days the cut up watermelon will go bad and should be thrown out and not eaten.

It's best to eat the leftover watermelon within a few days of cutting it up so it remains fresh and will not go bad before you eat it.

The cut up watermelon pieces are at their best when eaten within three to four days of being cut.

The cut watermelon will be bad when it has slime, change in color, texture, has a bad smell etc.
