The fischer mode described in the video is not THE real fischer mode (as we use it in Europe): In the fischer mode, the increment is added before the move: If you play a 5'+30'' per move game, the clock should display 5':30'' at the beginning. The chronos clock displays only 5':00'' and adds the increment after the move.
So the Chronos is probably one of the best clock (I have a Chronos GX) but one of its 'flaw' is not to offer a real fischer mode ('fischer after' is not fischer :o))
@Bidibulle25 Ah, but "Fischer after" is identical to "Fisher before the next move". So the flaw is merely that there is no increment on the FIRST move only.
@Bidibulle25 ...and even that flaw can be eliminated by specifying the starting time to be, for example, 1:00:30 for a 30 second increment. Then you get the increment before your first turn. Show some initiative!
