I wouldnt mind a disposable/consumable layer at the bottom of my apple watch that provides CGM capabilities. Apple watches are already way smaller than traditional fashionable watches, and i'm more than happy to wear something bulkier/sportier that has integrated CGM capabilities.

How would you feel about wearing a watch that is stuck in place in order to interface with that consumable bottom layer?

If the disposable layer transmits wirelessly in a close range (possibly being powered by the watch itself), then the watch is free to move around a bit and you get accurate measures.

That makes the disposable layer no different from existing systems that already wirelessly connect to your phone or watch.
