I was thinking that it's about composition (watermelon is mostly water), so probably more capsaicin. Hot like a pepper but big and round. And maybe some orangish bioluminescence too, since it's a made-up fruit and I'm allowed some creative licence.

Windmelon would then be very light and spongy.

I wonder if a fruit like that could ever be GMO'ed.

I see no fundamental reason why not. The barriers are mostly cultural and in understanding details of biology when it comes to GMOs.
