Watchpooints cannot be set on certain types of fields. For example you cannot set a watchpoint on:

1. an interface field
2. a final static field
3. a final field

Can you paste the snippet of code that you are trying to set the watchpoint in?

As a side note, if you are using the "Toggle Breakpoint" action - via the editor ruler or the menu action (Ctrl+Shift + B) you should get a line breakpoint on one of the aforementioned locations.
