While the Pentax camera was called the "Spotmatic" the metering it actually used was simple through-the-lens stop-down averaging metering. I seem to recall that the pre-production model did have spot metering but by the time it went on sale they had changed the metering back to average metering since they doubted that the average amateur would be able to make sensible use of spot metering.
So the Spotmatic was neither 'spot' nor auto'matic'.
