Good metronome?

After 6 years of hard use, my Qwik Time metronome finally died on me, so I'm in the market for a new metronome. I'm looking for something other than another Qwik Time, as I was never really happy with it. I was looking at the Boss DB-60, but wanted to do a little more research before I bought it. Does anyone have any experience with the DB-60? Does anyone recommend any other metronomes? My max budget is probably $100. I need a metronome that can do all sorts of time signatures and be VERY durable.

The UG tools app actually has a pretty good metronome that covers heaps of time signatures... it costs about $3

or andriod. i love mine. free, different noises option for accent, volume, any bpm even tap tempo. if you want to you can play it into any audio equipment that has a jack in. i have one in my bose unit in my studio, so plug in and you can get it loud enough to be heard over drums.

i drum with it, and and about 50% of my playing is with one.

free. no need to buy anything.

For $100 I'd be looking for a used drum machine.
