`watch` is not returning correct values with `defaultValue` argument provided

Describe the bug I have a checkbox-type component in my multi-step form, which uses reset(values) to restore the form state from higher-order state. Inside a checkbox component I use watch('name', false) to trigger some effects when checkbox is changed.

If I reset the form with values from state, where my value is true, watch still returns false. If I remove default value, then the value returned updates correctly, but this causes issues in my effects, so I still need this default value to be set.

I upgraded to v6.3.0, but it didn’t change anything

To Reproduce Steps to reproduce the behavior:

1. Open the sandbox below
2. Checkbox is checked by default. Notice that watch with default value returns false
3. When you check/uncheck the checkbox, both values get synchronized
4. If you then press the Reset button, you will see, that watch with default value returns wrong value again.

Expected behavior watch return values should be in sync with and without the defaultValue, when the value is set in the form.

Please Has anyone been able to solve this. I see this in the docs for setting a default value with watch, but when I try to do this, the default value gets ovewritten with undefined
