In beta on enwiki, there were 400 clicks on watchlist compared to 587 on collections since we launched it. It will be interesting how it holds out, as I suspect it is "new feature curiosity" but it adds more value to the idea that people use the watchlist for things other than editing. It's even more popular than nearby at current time. That said It still fails to compete with our most popular 'features' home, random and settings.

This is clicks on English Wikipedia in the beta version of mobile web within the 'hamburger menu' (the menu accessed by clicking on the 3 line icon in the top left corner). We've seen lots of data on mobile web that suggest people use the watchlist in this way. If we look at watchlist behaviour, although the editor watchlist sees more general activity, if you look at unique users, in this month, 1117 known users have used the watchlist as a bookmarking tool for jumping to pages [1] whereas 1090 have used it to get to diffs, so there is thus mounting evidence to show there is a need for a reader version of the watchlist.
