dotnet watch missing with upgrade to .NET 5

With the recent upgrade to .NET 5, dotnet --help outputs:

.NET SDK (5.0.104)
...
Additional commands from bundled tools:
  dev-certs         Create and manage development certificates.
  fsi               Start F# Interactive / execute F# scripts.
  sql-cache         SQL Server cache command-line tools.
  user-secrets      Manage development user secrets.
  watch             Start a file watcher that runs a command when files change.

Trying one of those commands, however, outputs:

❱ dotnet watch       
Cannot find command 'dotnet watch', run the following command to install

dotnet tool install --global dotnet-watch

It worked before when Arch provided .NET 3.1 by default. Trying the suggestion there doesn't work because that's an old .NET Core 2 thing.

System info:

❱ pacman -Q | grep -E 'dotnet|aspnet' 
aspnet-runtime 5.0.4.sdk104-1
dotnet-host 5.0.4.sdk104-1

Re: dotnet watch missing with upgrade to .NET 5

Upvote this, did you find any solution?

edit:

just use aur version 5.0.4.sdk201-1 instead of  5.0.4.sdk104-1
