Depending on which of the LazDebugger...LLDB package(s) you installed, 
you should have one or two entries:
   "LLDB Debugger (Alpha)"
   "LLDB Debugger (with fpdebug) (Alpha)"

The 2nd one should be the better one.
The first (without fpdebug), will accept/display watches in C style 
only, and has had way less testing.

If you get an error, please provide the stacktrace (if you have), 
together with console output, and logfile.

Please also test with and without "external debug info".
When using (or having used) external dbg info, ensure that the folder 
with the debug info is not left behind/outdated (IIRC a folder with psym 
in the name)

I tested this on a Mac, that I had on loan. Currently I do not have a 
Mac for testing.

What you mean by "without, the debugger"
Without any debugger, or with the lldb without fpdebug?
