Has the ability to Watch a variable in the VS2019 debugger been removed from VB.Net?

I used to be able to set a "Watch" to track the value of a VB.net variable in VS, but I can't seem to find it anymore. I used to be able to set a "Watch" under the "Debug" menu. I've checked them all (both while editing and after setting a Breakpoint when running) and the feature is nowhere to be found. An online search is no help.

Has the feature been removed from VS2019 or am I missing something?

TIA

    While running, right click on what you want to watch then select it e.g.

    Don't you have [Debug] [Windows] [Watch], as explained at : Watch variables with Watch windows and QuickWatch
