I'm guessing this was an old article that was "updated" and re-used. Otherwise, I can't understand why it would recommend buying a Series 2 Apple Watch if you don't need a Series 3 with cellular. The link in the article to a Series 2 on Amazon goes to a "renewed" Series 2 that is $199 (or $10 more expensive than the Series 3 model that is the GPS/Wifi). Unless you can find it way cheaper somewhere, there wouldn't be any reason to choose a Series 2 over a Series 3 GPS/Wifi model.
