What area will be under 1st hurricane watch in '09?

Congrats...you got it right! Bermuda was the first area in the Atlantic Basin put under a hurricane watch in the 2009 season.

I'm going to take the easy out and say Bermuda.

As for the US, from the Florida-Alabama border to the mouth of the Suwanee River. It will be issued for a tropical storm that the NHC thinks might become a hurricane but does not because of shear (total guess).

I'd guess The carolinas up to the mid atlantic states. nothing for Florida or the Gulf coast for now if at all the way this season seems to shaping up.
