I've got a Sabine Zipbeat that I'm crazy about. It's definitely non-fancy, but you can accent the second, third, fourth, fifth, or sixth beat (or no beat at all), it's really easy to adjust the settings without too much hassle, and it cost nineteen bucks. The only drawback is that it's not particularly loud. If I want to get real specific and serious about working on some rhythm thing then I'll put some foam-sponge under the strings. So, I highly recommend that one, though it sounds like it might not be what you're looking for.... Zipbeat

Have you thought about amplification? If you're having trouble finding something that meets these criteria you've laid out, it could be that such a thing just isn't out there. So, to use the Zipbeat again as an example, it's got a headphone out, so it shouldn't be too hard to rig up some kind of external amplification scenario. A bit of a pain in the ass, and maybe a little annoying to have to enhance your metronome in such a way, but it still might be one of the simpler solutions. And so long as you don't take it into the shower with you, it should work fine. I'm a firm believer in regular, disciplined use of the metronome, but you gotta draw the line somewhere...
