What are some good metronomes out there, NOT on a mobile application or webapp?

I've used an old traditional Yamaha metronome for years. Accurate, simple and pretty well bulletproof.

Well I've gone back and forth on this. My favorite standard "tank," is the top Seiko Quartz metronome (SQ- 70 these days) - quick dial, loud sound you can hear over anything.
Then I started to really like the tiny Boss (DB-30). It divides the beat up great, gives you some complex patterns and sounds really euphonic while it does it. The only problems are that it puts out a softer sound than its big brother and it is a little harder to change the pulse fast (like the Seiko that just "dials" in).
So for lessons and standard practice, I go with the Seiko. When I really have to bear down, or I am trying to determine the speed of a recording (tap function), I use the DB-30.

Tyler,
Search "that auction site" for the Korg KDM-1. It is a bare bones, no frills metronome, that is has a loud, relatively pleasing sound. It is easily to use (with a quick dial) in your own practice, and for chamber music groups, if necessary. Drawback: It is limited to the standard metronome markings.
Best wishes,
Greg Williams
BTW: I am NOT selling any KDM-1 metronomes on "that auction site".

I have Nikko, Beat 6/4, 4/4, 3/4 2/4 but when you put time "grave" to "moderato" isn't precise (but i spent few, with original case, 15€)
and other metronome, a wittner, very old and doesn't work (10€)
I think that you need a good but not modern you should take those who lean on the piano (the cost between 100-200€) or if you didn't want to spent a lot you could try in the used or wittner piccolo.
