How do I filter out the bot edits?

Click in the search bar to open the main filter panel, then scroll down to the "Automated contributions" filter group. Select the "Human (not bot)" filter. That will exclude bot edits.

Thank you @JMatazzoni (WMF), interestingly i had all the item below "Type of Change" unselected and i got everything in my watchlist. Is that maybe a bug?

@Aschroet: asks: "I had all the items below "Type of Change" unselected and i got everything in my watchlist. Is that maybe a bug?" 

Thanks for asking. The answer is no, that's correct. As it says on the Filtering help page under Understanding Groups, "When no filters in a group are selected, all filters in that group are active." And everything is included.

That sounds confusing when you say it, but you are probably very familiar with this type of behavior from shopping sites that use filtering. E.g., on Amazon, if I search for "men's shoes," I get a results page with many filter groups at left—for size, color, brand, style, price range, etc. As long as I don't make any selections, I see all possible results. But as soon as I pick an option within any filter group—if I select gray in the color group, for example—then I exclude all colors except gray. Meaning that when no filters in the color group are selected, everything in that group is in effect active. It's the same with the new Watchlist filters.
