1. A physiological characteristic monitoring system, comprising:
a physiological characteristic sensor including a portion that is insertable into subcutaneous tissue of a user to generate sensor signals indicating a physiological characteristic of the user;
a wearable attachment device; and
an electronic display device including:
a first connector that detachably couples to the physiological characteristic sensor to receive the sensor signals in a first configuration of the electronic display device, wherein, in the first configuration,
the physiological characteristic sensor adheres to skin of the user; and
the electronic display device is attached to the user via the first connector and the physiological characteristic sensor to form an on-body display system that determines and displays the physiological characteristic of the user;
a second connector that detachably couples to the wearable attachment device in a second configuration of the electronic display device, wherein the electronic display device is attached to the user via the second connector and the wearable attachment device in the second configuration;
a controller configured to process the sensor signals received from the physiological characteristic sensor to determine the physiological characteristic of the user; and
a display configured to display:
in the first configuration, at least a first user interface presenting the physiological characteristic of the user determined by the controller based on the sensor signals generated by the physiological characteristic sensor; and
in the second configuration, at least a second user interface presenting information other than the physiological characteristic of the user.
