The newer Zooz ZSE41s 800LR are quite nice. Z-Wave 800 and very small. They advertise them for outdoor use (with a case), but the minimum gap may be too small for many outdoor applications.

These are my new favorite contact sensors. I have been using them since last December without issue on my C-8. I even have one on the door to my camper parked beside the house (alerts me through homekit if the door is opened) and it has been perfect. When we go on trips and come back, it connects back like nothing happened. Also, while I'm sure it won't last 5 years on one battery, it seems to go for at least a year on a 2032, feels solid, and is cheap.

Surprised no-one has mentioned the SmartThings Multipurpose Sensor yet. Mine are still working great, small, and have added bonus of sensing temperature, vibration and even tilt if required. Even in my cold garage and shed these have been working great.
