No: this is user-centric, meaning you get the repo starred by users, or by a given user.
And don’t forget what you are calling “watch” is now “star”.
While the search GUI now exposes “stars” as a sort order (see “Get sorted github repository search results by “some” attribute(the number of forks or stars)“, February 2013), the search API (a port from V2) is the only one mentioning “stars” as a sort order for repositories.
(this should work both for public GH and GHE: GitHub for enterprise, but requires a keyword, and does not follow the v3 pagination pattern. This method returns up to 100 results per page and pages can be fetched using the start_page parameter.)
