G-Shock ranges (e.g. G-Lide, Mudman, MR-T, etc.)

Can anyone point me to a succinct list of the G-Shock ranges and their particular specialisations?

So far I've got these:

MR-G	Top of the range?
MT-G	Top of the range? (How are they different from MR-G?)
G-Lide	Surfers' watches, tide and moon information.
Mudman	Err.. muddy pursuits?
Gulfman	?
Frogman	Diving specific?
Riseman	?
G-Aviation	Aviation inspired?
Rangeman	New ABC G-Shocks
Giez	?
Baby-G	Small size

I think gulfman is about sailing, or summat (is it tides or compass this one has?).

Riseman about airborne or mountain sports (altimeter).

You can add Gulfman - Rust Resist and Riseman - Twin Sensor G-Shock (with alti, not compass like the Mudman).

MT-G - One down from MR-G, we don't see now see MR-G models outside of Japan usually. Metal Twisted G - MT-G. Metal bracelets, with resin bodies sandwiched between metal back and bezel.

Gulfman - Use of titanium instead of stainless steel.

Giez - I believe was intended as a more 'European' watch. Is a traditional metal body with a screwback, yet only comes with resin straps so far as I can see. As a metal-bodied screwback certain people may see this as preferable to to an MT-G.

It's also useful to pay attention to the module numbers and families. For example, compare the MR-G 8100, GW2000 and Giez GS 1150 - sure you're paying for the case as well, but would you really miss self correcting 'tough movement' hands on the cheaper models?

EDIT:

Mudman - was originally a model with rubber covering the push buttons to stop them getting bunged up with mud. Now is a series of models with that feature but advertised as 'for rallying' or 'muddy pursuits' as you say (e.g. the timers on the g9000).

Been meaning to say: Thanks for all the replies in this thread.
