Yeah, if they split on the vine, they're getting too much water. Tomatoes will do the same thing with heavy rains. If they are rotting, they are either getting too much water and/or they are not well-drained enough. Sounds like a little of both.
If allowed to mature naturally, watermelons don't split. They will fully ripen, turn and begin to rot from inside, a brown spot will become a hole and the whole thing will collapse inward. Eventually leaves you with a pile of seeds and a chunk of dried out rind.
