About device
On the back, apart from the Nintendo logo is the text:
56674-P-300006-1022
QR code
The back of the wristband also has a QR code, used to pair the device to an account using the Nintendo app on a smartphone.
My band's QR code data is:
011101000000000000000590880000000000FF03
NFC data
The band uses NFC to communicate with rides at the park. Using a simple NFC reader and pcscd
, we can read the data from it:

Things of note:
Based on this article, the serial numbers should be stored in the first 7 bytes, so our wristband's serial number is
04:6B:2E:B2:E8:10:90
.Starting at byte 0x240/576d, we see our QR code data from earlier.

So is there a way to add the chip to your phone / watch like a metro card ? 👀
