The HS Replay deck tracker app on mobile for android reveals the card chosen by sightless watcher before it is played. Essentially tells you the next card your opponent is going to draw.

Blizzard does not make or is affiliated in any way with the HS Replay Deck Tracker app. Go and notify the creators of the app of this.
Blizzard should however be aware that their logs are leaking information. Sounds like the deck tracker is picking up on it unintentionally, and that should be patched out. However, the deck tracker can only do that if the game is handing that data away for free. A more malicious minded person could continue to exploit it even after the tracker is instructed to turn a blind eye to it.
Posted it over to the HearthSim Discord so hopefully it’ll be dealt with on that end. Haven’t seen any other reports of Watcher actIng up, so it might not be every case. Can you recall the card they chose? Could it have been one shuffled in after the start of the game?

Ive noticed it happening for every time watcher is played. The game is in some way leaking the data of the chosen card out to the deck tracker because it relies on game data to run
Looked into it. Watcher creates copies of three cards in the deck to present to the user as options to choose from. The choices are hidden from the opponent, but when one is clicked on (and the real one in the deck is moved to the top), that fake “choice card” is sent to the graveyard and becomes internally revealed. The deck tracker apparently noticed it. The other two choices are left in a different hidden zone unused for the remainder of the game. It’s hardly the only issue like this - there are probably dozens of others - but it’s probably better to deal with them when they become apparent rather than shine a spotlight on them all at once.
