Typing in Henry’s details in Ancestry gives the first listing as a marriage:-

Name:   Henrye Watts
Gender:   Male
Marriage Date:   29 Nov 1589
Marriage Place:   Georgeham,Devon,England
Spouse:   Alse Leworthie
FHL Film Number:   916847

This could be following the death of his first Wife, or it could be a different Henry, it is all there is on Henry.

Ancestry is also showing 561 trees with Henry Watts b1550 in Georgeham and all those I looked at seem to be cobbled from each other with no supportive references and very dubious links.

There is no supportive information of Henry’s parents shown in these trees as ever being in Devon.

Trawling through the trees may reveal supportive references that you could accept and I will leave that up to you

If his dad was sir Henry he was one of the founder members of the India trading company ..... Braunton in Devon was a big port in those times , they took ships from there to go fight the Spanish Armada ..... that’s the only reason I can see them being in Devon but like you said there no had evidence so unlike everyone else I’m not just adding it ...... I gotta run as late for work ...... if anybody can peace it together then fair play to them 👍
