I just got the new Apple Watch SE with a silicone band and have had an allergic reaction to it. Can anyone suggest what band to use instead?

And a long shot, but if you haven't already done so, you might try washing the band with a mild non-allergenic laundry or dish soap. It's possible that the reaction is coming from a mold-release coating, not the silicone itself, though reactions to silicone are by no means unusual.
Regards.
Apple has a number of options, and there are literally thousands of bands available on Amazon.
I've always found leather to be the least likely to cause problems. Apple no longer makes leather products. Look to a 3rd party for that.
My favorite is the Sport Loop band. I have it in several colors. It's easy on the skin.
