They are in a raised bed.

Water whenever the soil is dry under the surface. Three times a week should suffice. Melons don't need that much water.

Watermelons need lots of water and sun. Because your's are in a raised bed where the soil dries out quicker, I would water every other day. Do a good deep soaking water, not just quicky sprinkles. I find that it helps to have one of those little rain gauges so I can tell how much water my gardens are getting.
