Debug -> Edit watches... -> Add

In the dialog put the name of the variable you want to "watch" and click OK.

Now, in the Management dock click on the Watches tab and it'll be there with its value.

Well you could position the cursor right by the variable. Then right click and select (while you are running the debugger) Watch 'variable_name'.
