As designed What's New > Watching icon appears next to threads from the forum you are watching

[Case]

Affected version

2.1

Just wanted to check if this was intended behaviour...

If you view What's New, any threads from forums you are watching have the watching 'eye' icon on them.

I'm not watching that thread, just the forum it has been posted in.

It seems odd having the icon there like I am watching that particular thread.

Yep, it is intentional.
