I have accumulated several tuning devices over the years from the
pitch pipe I got with my first guitar 30 years ago, to a tuning
fork and several electronic tuners that live in my guitar cases on
on my ukuleles today.
I don't even have my students tune by ear until well into playing the guitar. I have them get an electronic tuner and ALWAYS play in tune. This trains their ear and they learn what an in-tune guitar sounds like and can then learn to tune the guitar by ear.
Here is a review the current crop of clip-on tuners that I have and still use toady.
Here is a page of reviews on the tuners that I have used in the past and still use and reccommend.

Metronomes
A metronome is any device that produces a regulated audible and/or visual pulse, usually used to establish a steady beat, or tempo, measured in beats-per-minute (BPM) for the performance of musical compositions. It is an invaluable practice tool for musicians that goes back hundreds of years.
I have accumulated several metro devices over the years from the
the classic wind-up pendulum metronome to various electronic metronomes.
Some musicians swear by them and others swear at them. But - one think for sure. EVERY musician is responsible for keeping and playing in time. An external time device like a metronome can be used too develop a great internal sense of time.
I have ALL my students work on playing in time.
