You will get a lot of answers, but yes. There is a OTT chart for watermelons using End to End over the top, Side to Side over the top and Circumference.

I also like to measure straight length and girth, since it tells me something extra about the fruit. I can usually measure girth since I have the fruit up on boards with air space underneath. It's pretty easy to slip the tape under the melon, unless there is a garden snake curled up under the fruit.
