Hugo server VS hugo server --watch

It’s told that by --watch option, hugo watches the file system for new files and changed files.

I tried hugo server and hugo server --watch, both of them watch the file system for new files and changed files! What does --watch reallly do?

Since Hugo 0.15 watch is default in hugo server.so hugo server --watch=false should turn it off.
