It depends on what you want to do with it. Samsung is not replacing the Gear S2 (Round Screen) with the Gear S3, except for the "classic Gear S2". The Gear S2 is smaller, so they are keeping it in the line. The specs are the same, except for slightly larger screen on the G3 and the G3 has GPS built in. And all models have the speaker. On the Gear S22, only the SIM enabled variant has a speaker.

My Galaxy Gear S recently had some issues after 2 years. I "think" I can fix it again, but it will probably not last. The sim card door let some water in. So I'm buying a refurbished Gear S2 for $109! The metal link replacement band is $25. So I have basically a Gear S2 Classic with 3G and phone for $134.
