No: The amount of watermelon you eat determines how much potassium you get. In about half a cup of watermelon, there is roughly 85 mg of potassium. Other sources of potassium: http://www.Drugs.Com/cg/potassium-content-of-foods-list.Html.

Moderate: 2 cups of watermelon has approximately 320 mg potassium, versus a medium banana which has approx. 422mg. Watermelon has more vitamin a, iron and zinc than a banana though, and is a nice break from bananas! :).
