This is why I don’t use silicone watch bands.

Probably just get a different, more breathable band. You can't exactly control how much your body excretes sweat.
Personally I don't sweat from just wearing it. If I exercise, sure, but I just run it and my wrist under the tap. Watch is fine, it's made to be water resistant.
Clean it regularly.
I have bing using an Apple Watch with an Apple Silicone Band since 2015 and I never had this problem.
I have the trail and alpine loops (original) and I switch them regularly after a workout. To wash them I put them in a sock in the washing machine.
Also: clean the back of the watch often.
No issues with smell.
My sport loop band doesn't really get sweaty.
