Some of the most fashionable smartwatches in Fossil’s huge wearables empire comes from Kate Spade, the New York-based fashion company.

Prices were closer to $600 or $700. This leads us to ask, what’s behind the unrelenting surge in handset costs, and will consumers continue to fork over big bucks smartphones?
