The review here says it weight "just under tow pounds." I weighed it at the bike shop and it came in at 750 grams, which equals 1.65 pounds. I agree that its probably overkill for most kind of touring. Especially wild camping touring and small towns. I feel like I am likely to encounter a wide range of terrain and populations when going across a continent so I am just not sure yet.
OH, I missed that one because on the Abus page they didn't call it a Steel-O-Chain. The only 685 was listed as the "Catena 685 Shadow." FWIW they list it at 850 grams.

I don't see a link to the exact one I have. I bought it at Performance for about $15 and I think it was 10mm cable with a 4 digit code. This is not the same exact one, but it looks a lot like this:
