JQL Option for querying stories by the Watcher list

Question

Our JIRA is on-prem. The client is asking for a list of stories based on users in the Watcher list. How can I use JQL to search this? We have a similar filter setup using watcher = currentUser() - but I'm looking for something like watcher in (, , ) because they're not associated to any 'groups' in jira

I think depending on what you are looking to query, one of the below should work:

* issuetype = story and (watcher = user1 and watcher = user2)
* issuetype = story and (watcher = user1 OR watcher = user2)
* issuetype = story and (watcher = user1 OR watcher = user2) or (watcher = user1 and watcher = user2)
