Default Advice for Heavy Bracelet or Watch?

Can it honestly weigh 1.96 pounds?!? My "clerical error" meter is going

More like misinterpetation error. 2 pounds would be the shipping weight you pay
shipping on, most of which will be the box and other packaging. And I
wouldn't be surprised if they up their profit margin a bit by stating the
shipping weight a little higher than they actually get charged for by the
shipper, to add a little more to handling fees without saying so. (But I'm
guessing on this. Could be accurate...

I'd bet the bracelet itself likely weighs more in the range of a quarterpound
at most. A few ounces at any rate, leaving you to define "few". Exactly how
many is anyone's guess without a side view of the bracelet to show it's
thickness. It's fairly wide, but flat is lighter than something that's not just
solid but domed or otherwise has significant volume, and I'd expect that
braid/fabric portion to be fairly thin. The edges will be heavy enough to allow
the bracelet to keep it's shape well, but not likely more than that. I'dexpect
this bracelet to weigh less than it visually looks.
