Silicone and rubber are different materials and each one has its own list of pros and cons. For example, silicone has superior flame resistance, but rubber is significantly more resistant to abrasion. With that in mind, when it comes specifically to high-quality watch straps, rubber is often regarded as the superior material and it typically costs more for companies to produce. Rubber is also naturally hypo-allergenic, temperature-resistant, stain and dirt resistant, and incredibly durable.
