As for emergency use, I would suggest a GPS+Cellular model, assuming your carrier supports it. That way you can use the SOS feature even if your iPhone is not nearby. See:

Apple Watch - Carriers - Apple

To compare those model features, see the 'Which Apple Watch is right for you?' section in :

Buy Apple Watch Series 9 - Apple

(All models support emergency SOS, especially if your iPhone is nearby. It is the price and other features that may determine which model is right for you.)

As far as getting attacked, there are no built-in features (other than SOS) within watchOS. There may be third-party apps from the App Store that may help.
