Remove the sentence about only root being able to run watch(8). It
was never technically true (it's snp(4) that required root, not
watch(8)), and after snp.c 1.64, isn't even effectively true, since
who can run watch(8) depends on the permissions of the snp device(s).
Sort options in SYNOPSIS and DESCRIPTION while I'm here.
