What kind of thing is being associated.

The profile is a request for elevated privileges as much as a description: Android grants a watch profile the right to run in the background and stream notifications, and shows the user a correspondingly stronger consent dialog. Ask for GENERIC unless the device really is one of the specific kinds, because the specific profiles cost the user a scarier prompt.
