The small bit of glass would be negligible in terms of cost. Apple doesn’t skimp on materials. It’s likely plastic because of a functionality constraint where glass would compromise accuracy.
It also could be a safety concern since you are wearing the watch.

You mean the body or the back itself? That circular portion on the very back would have to be made out of a transparent material, so either glass or sapphire. I believe ceramic isn't transparent but the body is ceramic not the sensor part the charging puck attaches to. I've seen the new models in the store and they all look the same.
