Sienna Miller plays Taya Kyle, Chris Kyle's wife, the person holding the stateside half of the story together while her husband deploys and redeploys to Iraq. Eastwood builds American Sniper as a two-front war — the battlefield and the marriage — and Miller carries the domestic scenes with a performance that earned her a SAG Award nomination. Whatever watch she wears hasn't been identified. The camera doesn't linger on her wrist the way it does on the tactical gear in the field.
Taya Kyle is a real person who co-authored the book the film is based on and who has been publicly vocal about veterans' issues since her husband's death in 2013. The unidentified watch is a footnote to a performance about a woman watching her marriage erode with each phone call that cuts out mid-sentence. Eastwood's restraint with the home scenes is part of what makes the film work — everything is underplayed, including the wardrobe.
