Uniquely identify Android Wear device

What would be the best way to uniquely identify a specific Wear-device? I'd like to store a preference per device on the phone and thus need an identifier that is static. I would expect that the NodeId is assigned dynamically (and changes after each reconnect, or after each reboot, for example).

I am working with a couple of Sony SmartWatch 3 devices and needed to reset some of them to factory settings. It turned out that the NodeId changed quite significantly from a rather long one (such as 738eaa61-703a-4dcb-ae93-d1f326e0c6d1) to a relatively short one like ed806f56.

However, as long as I didn't reset the watch completely I did never experience a change in the NodeId and it should be a reliable value (after a reset, the Watch needs to be paired again with the phone anyway).
