This number is updated when the application starts up on the watch.
It indicates the reference of your watch and will allow you to choose the exact value to enter in the form if you are requesting a license.
If the application has not yet been launched on the watch, the value will be empty
If you install with Garmin express (on a computer) without having at least launched it on the watch, the value will be empty too.
