"The watermelon weighs ten kilos."

Translation: Το καρπούζι έχει βάρος δέκα κιλών.

[C.L.12]

the verb "weigh" can easily and correctly be translated μονολεκτικά "ζυγίζει", not only περφραστικά

Very good point. We needed to use the word "βάρος" here but no doubt "ζυγίζει" is better and it's one of the accepted translations. Thank you.

¿Why not ‘Το καρπούζι ζυγίζει δέκα κιλών.’?

[D_..]

Το καρπούζι έχει βάρος δέκα κιλών is literally The watermelon has (a) weight of ten kilos. 'of ten kilos' is translated with the genitive, δέκα κιλών.
Το καρπούζι ζυγίζει δέκα κιλά = The watermelon weighs ten kilos. This is the standard SVO structure: subject in nominative, verb, object in accusative.

[troll1995]

It would be το καρπούζι ζυγίζει δέκα κιλά.

ζυγιζει wasnt accepted for me

If this is your Report you will not that you incorrectly used "έχει ζυγίζει".
