Video: First look at Samsung's smartwatch

Samsung's S-Voice app ont he Galaxy Gear isn't nearly as functional as Google (GOOG) Now, or even Apple (AAPL)'s Siri, but it still has the ability to let you initiate calls, send text messages, check the weather, set reminders or dictate notes with your voice.
